We had the most amazing stay here where we were giving a complimentary upgrade for my husband's 30th birthday. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was outstanding. Would love to go back again soon.

Great food, excellent staff but disappointing
We had stayed at this hotel before its re-brand several times and were keen to return. We were given a free upgrade on arrival to a superior room, which on the surface was a beautiful big room with a fabulous view. However, there was large stains on the bed base and we had no hot water in the shower or sink in the evening or the morning. We used the spa and had to wait for access as it was very busy. The jacuzzi was cold and the water was filthy. We dined in the restaurant and the food was excellent along with the staff who couldn't be more helpful. The negative was the music. We were sat directly under a speaker and the music was club like. We had come for a romantic break and the music was very inappropriate for a restaurant and it spoiled our dining experience. The staff tried to change the music but were unable to due to it being a set playlist. We ate our meal and left before desert as it wasn't pleasant to listen to. The staff were absolutely delightful throughout the hotel, and the food was excellent. In all honesty the rest was disappointing and would put us off returning. Based on other hotel stays I would not class this hotel as 5 star. It lacks the finesse and elegance it once had and that's a shame. Additional charge for parking was also disappointing.
