Great hotel

Lovely hotel in an ideal location for us as we arrived by train. Lovely spacious room. We arrived before check in but were able to leave our bags and when we came back they had already been taken to our room which was very helpful! Breakfast was an amazing buffet. Staff were most helpful at check in and again on leaving, particularly Gary.
