    Okay for one night but not sure I would stay longer.

    The window in my room didn't shut, so it didn't lock either. Nor would it lock on vent. It looked as though it had been forced open from the outside at some point in its past. I am glad I was only staying one night as I felt the security of the room was compromised, even though a safe was provided.

    The reception staff were brilliant. The head waitress was brilliant. Completely on the ball. However, she was let down by a young lad on the desk for dinner who did not seem to know he should have handed out the dessert menu when requested.

    Nice hotel in a beautiful, quiet location. Staff were very friendly. The room was a good size and had a bath which was perfect after long days driving the surrounding area. Food was good, highly recommend the mac cheese with crab! Breakfast was fine too. Only downsides were the car park, its tiny, if there's an overflow car park, its not sign posted. The bed was also hard and i woke up in pain both mornings. Booking.com omitted to update me that the swimming pool was open again therefore didn't bring a swimming suit, I could have used the steam room after my long drives.

    Beautiful hotel but didn't sleep due to awful beds.
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The beds were awful. The worst I have ever "tried to" sleep in. They were too narrow, mattress was very hard but the pillows were the worst, they were hard as a brick! The cover was not a duvet and was far too heavy. There was also a loud constant noise coming from the bathroom the whole time we were there. It sounded like a bull snoring! Needless to say we didn't sleep at all well all night. These comments were passed on to the receptionist. Also, booking.com advised us in an email apparently from the Muthu Alexandra that the swimming pool was out of commission but this was not the case. We therefore had to go and buy swimsuits so that we could make full use of the facilities. I think this could be an excellent hotel if only the beds in room 1 anyway! were changed and the noise investigated.

    Hotel is beautiful, food was excellent and staff were first class, especially Stephanie the receptionist. Was disappointed with a couple of things though as detailed below.
