Warm, friendly greeting at reception on arrival. Parking onsite but would also be great if the hotel offered free or discounted parking. Spotlessly clean and comfortable room with high quality toiletries and complimentary minibar items. Stunning hallway, bar and restaurant. Welcoming and friendly staff in the bar and at breakfast. Plenty options at breakfast from the cold buffet and cooked to order options on offer but full cooked breakfast was tasty but not at the level expected when in a Marco Pierre White restaurant. Eggs Benedict on the day before was much better. All in all, a beautiful, comfortable and welcoming hotel. Would definitely stay here again/recommend to anyone coming to the area
