Our second time staying here and, to be honest, although the stay was fine, a few things which disappointed; 1) the bar was shut early (by 6pm) most evenings; 2) breakfast (we didn’t have included, but paid for on one day, was poorly presented and expensive as every item/dish was separate on the menu (how is toast not included with a full English!?); 3) pillows were of poor quality and, disappointingly, grubby inside the cases and 4) reception/concierge staff were polite but had little/no knowledge of local amenities/restaurants etc. as “they weren’t local” - my wife even ended up trying to help a recently arrived elderly US visitor who wanted to get a “Full English” breakfast experience locally and the receptionist couldn’t/wouldn’t help! Overall we left a little disappointed with our experience this time and generally felt that although the hotel wanted to be ‘good’ it lacked detail and a bit of a personal/independent touch. N.B. the new (separate) cafe is a nice development and staff in there were very good, but a little strange re the laptop ‘thing’ after 10.30am! Hopefully this feedback is constructive and useful.
