"Beautiful hotel, excellent breakfast. Would have given five stars if there had not have been an issue where I was charged £56 parking for my one night stay, I questioned my bill to be told it’s a parking charge. I then asked how long do I get to stay, another lady said the charge was £17 and I was getting a refund. I was refunded the money with no apology just a mumbling about commission!"

"We stayed here for one night on our way home from an event down near London. Parking was ample, the receptionist was polite, friendly and professional. Our room was a superior room on the ground floor and was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We ate in the restaurant / bar that evening, it was quiet and the food was excellent. Staff were really friendly and nice - special shout out to Sanija (I hope I’ve spelt that correctly) who served us for most of the evening and again at breakfast the next morning - she was brilliant, friendly, bubbly and had a lovely smile. Breakfast itself was ok, buffet style so convenient but like at most venues that use this approach the heat and standard of the food can suffer slightly - still decent enough though. We would definitely stay here again if in the area."
