    Would have been 10/10 if you could have a "proper" machine-made coffee included with the breakfast as opposed to the coffee containers.

    The room had the basic amenities we needed. Lovely spacious and modern bathroom with a huge bath. Comfortable bed. The breakfast was one of the best I've seen any hotel offer in recent times. Daniel in the coffee shop was fantastic and the receptionists were friendly and welcoming. I'd recommended staying here. Great that parking was free and plentiful.

    We were disappointed with the dinner. The starter music bread was inedible. I’m not really sure what it was supposed to be. It was very greasy and think cold cheese. The bread was rock hard and chewy. The burgers were ok. For the standard of the restaurant we were expecting better. But they were quite dry.

    Room was beautiful, clean and comfy. We liked the selection and amount of tea and coffee offered in the room. Location is beautiful.

    Nothing - all was 5 star.

    There is nothing not to like… from the incredible rooms, which literally have everything you need, to the amazing staff- especially Gary! it really is a fantastic space and the decor in the rooms and brasserie is country chic! Everyone should try this place, you wont be disappointed.

    Since the hotel is situated at the edge of relatively new housing, there really isn't anything in walking distance like a local pub, supermarket or other facilities. By car everything was super reachable.

    Very friendly staff that made the say memorable, the Rosewood suite was a dream to stay in and is spacious and luxurious for the price. Breakfast was served a la carte (on weekdays) and was an amazing quality for something that was included in the stay.

    The food was ok but could be better. It was a shame there was no food service after 8.30pm.

    Service was excellent. Very helpful and friendly staff especially the night duty manager and the restaurant front of house. The rooms were very nicely designed and comfortable.
