"The hotel decor is beautiful, the staff are so helpful and friendly. We had a king room with a view, which was a great size, room amenities perfect and view of the bridge. It really does have special feel to it. I would love to come back and use the hotel again, however I didn't feel that the quality of the bed linen and pillows matched that of the hotel, they are quite scratchy and pillows completely flat, I didn't get a great night's sleep, obviously making it a hard decision as to whether to try another hotel on our return. I can say, the restaurant food is absolutely fantastic, steak cooked to perfection, starter and desert also delicious!"

"Overall a brilliant hotel, right by the station and well located for everything. Reasonably quiet room despite overlooking a main road. Breakfast was a good selection, we are there in the evening a couple of times and it was lovely. Front desk happy to look after luggage which is a huge plus The room we were in had obviously had some repairs - patched up hole in the bath and a usable but cracked sink - so could do with a refresh. Beds were comfortable, roomy enough for a couple of days. Leisure facilities small but nice - had a lovely swim. Overall would recommend and would consider returning if back in the area."
