오렌지 그로브 호텔 & 가든스

Beautiful historic mansion. We walked thru nearby parks to the riverfront for lunch. The outdoor restaurant at Orange Grove was very pleasant for an evening dinner and happy hour. The admiral lounge is very comfortable while waiting for pickup to go to the airport or cruise ships.

Booked "dog-friendly room" (it's handy to have that description in the room information when booking as otherwise I'd ring the hotel before booking to check if dogs are ok in room we're booking, so thanks for that). Note that £30pn is charged on top of room rate for a dog. It was a premium room, so had a lounge area with tv (Disney etc) & separate bedroom area. All very clean and comfy. Keiran was very welcoming on reception and offered to book us in for breakfast. We arrived late and no food was available after 9pm which was ok as we'd popped into a supermarket nearby on the way. Slept well until the groundsman woke us up strimming the grass outside our window at 8.30am, however we enjoyed our stay so much we booked a 2nd night. Hotel is extremely dog friendly as are welcome in 2 areas of breakfast/restaurant rooms and in the bar. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Bar closed at 9.30 one night when we went for a night-cap but they did open to serve a drink to take back to the room. Lovely grounds so plenty of walking from the door. We paid £15 on to the bill for breakfast (hot drink, juice, one choice from menu). Full English & veggie version were freshly cooked and very tasty . We'll stay again if we get the chance.

It's a very old building with only stairs but staff was more than pleasant adverse helpful. They bought our luggage up to our room and then even brought it back down I highly recommend this place.
