Convenient Stay
guaranteed parking afternoon dip tasty supper b b breakfast
My executive room upgrade included a guaranteed parking spot. This was important. The swimming pool gave me a welcome afternoon dip after I checked in. The Brasserie restaurant offered a tasty three course pre-theatre supper, timed at 17:30. Breakfast I had was more B&B standard though.
I noticed old carpets and dated decor in some corridors.
Facilities

The spa had a nice, relaxing atmosphere, and the pool area featured about twenty loungers. The hotel also offered a pleasant outdoor seating area near the bar and restaurant, this offered a comfortable space to unwind. The gym included three treadmills.

Relaxing Spa Break
spa facilities clean changing rooms helpful staff
The spa facilities were AMAZING!!! I enjoyed the deep tissue massage I booked online. The therapist was knowledgeable. All the staff I met were lovely and helpful. The changing rooms for the spa area were clean. I liked the loungers by the pool. My partner enjoyed the sauna and steam room, while I relaxed by the pool reading.
The water pressure was bad. There was no conditioner in the room. It was only body and hair wash in the same bottle.

the staff provided excellent service , especially the operational manager , jessie , he was very personable. the swimming pool and spa facilities were clean and well kept. i received a complimentary room upgrade and the room was quiet.
on arrival , parking was a challenge due to limited space and narrow bays. a range rover parked beside me was slightly over the bay lines , so my wife had to enter our car from the rear to drive out.

A Gem of Hospitality
attentive service good massage top-class food
The staff were really good. They seemed to anticipate every need. The hot stone massage at the spa was delightfully relaxing. The brasserie surprised me with top-class food and attentive service (especially the catch of the day).
I noticed some tables in the brasserie looked a bit grubby, i think they need replacing.
