The hotel has has a recent upgrade and looks amazing. Set in beautiful grounds and walking distance stroll into town. Upon arrival we had a lovely welcome by staff and our room was lovely too. The stairs are beautiful and the facilities and areas around the ground floor of the hotel are really comfortable and relaxing to enjoy. Parking is only £5 for 24 hours and the staff are so friendly and helpful.

Another great stay at the Palace. Easy check-in and our room was clean and for a compact room, it was spacious and light. The hotel has been going through a programme of refurbishment and it look really good and the public areas and corridors are smart and renewed. Will be back again.

The staff were attentive and helpful. The restaurant manager was particularly engaging and was largely on her own on Sunday night but managed the restaurant with aplomb. The housekeeping staff were careful to report back quickly that I hadn’t left rings in the bedroom as suspected. I have since found them in the glove compartment of the car.

Last minute booking. Furniture in the room was a little dated but 5 stars for a very comfortable bed, amazing bathroom with great shower. Lovely staff who were friendly and could not do enough for us. Loved the extra touches - packets of fudge in the room, decent tea, bottled water and good biscuits. Decent breakfast. Loved the old world grandeur of the building. Would recommend this hotel and we will be back. Shout out to The olive tree restaurant - amazing food
