Great night’s sleep

Room and bed were huge and very quiet so good night’s sleep. The hotel and furnishings are lovely and well maintained and check in was quick and easy. Breakfast was unfortunately a let down though but it might have been because they had a wedding party in too however the fried eggs were rubbery and they ran out of white bread and pastries which was disappointing. Also, only decaf coffee was instant in a sachet which was also disappointing. So if you want a lovely bed and a great sleep this is a fab hotel but I would probably recommend somewhere else for breakfast based on our experience.
