Average.

Had high hopes for this place but it proved to be a real disappointment. Our £195 a night room was comfortable with a lovely bed but failed in lots of others areas. The bathroom had not been thoroughly cleaned with hairs and other debris on the floor. Some mould in the shower needs attention and 3 tiny shower/hair/conditioner bottles for a couple is rather mean. A Nespresso machine is a nice touch but you only get 2 pods. The AC unit blows directly onto your bed and even on low had to be turned off. Inconsiderate guests coming in late at night let the front door slam shut waking us up. This door needs a damper adjusted accordingly and is a real failing. And so to breakfast. Well the dining area decor is not to my taste looking like it has been furnished from B&M with lots of glitzy mirrors, lamps and plastic flowers. Oh well. We sit down for breakfast and our server greets us with "What would you like for breakfast"? "How about a menu " i reply. No they don't do menus so she rattles off a few options and we decide on fresh fruit with yogurt which was actually very nice ,a watery glass of cranberry juice and a full English which i have to say was really very poor. A poached egg which had the palest yellow yolk and was tasteless. A piece of dry thick cut bacon, a sausage ,hash brown, a few mushrooms and 3 tiny on the vine tomatoes. Oh and 2 small pieces of half toasted bread. That's your £15 per head breakfast. Simply not good enough. I cannot recommend this place given the many other better value options available in the area.
