I really wanted to give 5 stars for this lovely hotel, but unfortunately it was let down by the breakfast service. We rang and pre booked a parking space and so we were delighted to see our name on a stand reserving a space for us. Great service. Check in staff were also lovely and helpful. We booked a classic room and it was good enough for one night. The ensuite bathroom had a bath with shower attachment over. The step up into the bath was very high, and being only 5 foot 2” I had to get my husband to help me safely in and out. A grab rail of some sort would have been handy. The bed was really comfortable and two pillows each were plump and clean.
The breakfast. We came down for 9am and there were several tables waiting to be cleared. The lady that sat us had to clean a table for us. She took our cooked order of one full English and 2 soft boiled eggs with toast. The help yourselves cereal bar was okay, not huge, typical of a hotel set up. For such an expensive hotel I was surprised we had to help ourselves to coffee and tea. We waited for our cooked food for more than 30 minutes. We saw a plate of breakfast waiting to be brought out that sat there for more than 5 minutes. Not ours thankfully. When ours did arrive the eggs were hard boiled not soft. As breakfast is £24.50 each this is not good value for money. I would stay at this hotel again but skip paying for breakfast and go out for it.
