    No small table as tea making facilities were a bit small and a small fridge would be very nice.

    The hotel was very clean and tidy, room very good with a nice shower. Bed was comfy and had a Waitrose shop opposite for good shopping. Restaurant was very nice with very nice food. Very good for visiting places. Overall very nice and would recommend this hotel.

    The room was beautiful. The only slight recommendation would be improving the lighting around the dressing table, as it was a little difficult to do my make up.

    Staff were friendly and accommodating. I stayed there with my maid of honor the night before my wedding. They arranged for an iron and ironing board and champagne cooler to be brought up to the room. Super helpful, would definitely stay here again!

    All good.

    We have stayed here before, so expected our stay to be relaxing and comfortable, the rooms here are spacious and well furnished, open views across the town and to the hills beyond. We had dinner which I would recommend. the dining room staff were attentive and knowledgeable. My husband who is gluten intolerant would have liked a few more food choices. We did not have breakfast. Overall a very relaxed stay.

    The lift was broken but it didn't really bother us. No other problems at all.

    We had breakfast both mornings we were there and everything was just perfect. Poached eggs on sour dough bread for me. The staff were warm, friendly, helpful and polite. We really enjoyed our short stay and wouldn't hesitate to go again.

    A room fridge would have been nice, and toilet bowls just need bicarbonate to clean the enamel.

    Breakfast was superb, both cooked to order, and the croissants where so nice.I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay to friends and family.

    Fantastic break in a luxurious DOG FRIENDLY hotel at cheap prices, wonderful staff - AMAZING.

    NOTHING!!!!!

    Dog friendly and unsure when booked as the cost was far lower than anyone close-by at just over £80pn. Realized upon arrival it was King Charles' development to deliver old British standards and way of living of the past, quite unlike that decreed by Government - fantastic surrounding private properties (expensive) with lots of open spaces and free parking throughout the complex. Pub was really lovely as were the staff - we arrived quite late on a Sunday and the the Sunday carvery was a mere £10 each (£18+ normally) - fantastic and very tasty. Breakfast had so much choice as well as cereals & lovely pastries. The room was huge! Amazingly decorated using the best quality linen - High quality mattress as used in the 'White House'. Bathroom again very tasteful using top quality items. Set in a large square with shops all around you and a short walk if wanting to walk off your food. Excellent idea if you can afford to live there.

    Nothing - all great thank you 😊

    The initial appearance - all lit up at night - was absolutely stunning. Great inside too . Room very comfortable and unique style - lovely decor , good to have a bath as well as a shower, nice touch with the little blue night light in the bathroom for middle of the night loo visits! Unfortunately, I could only stay for one night and didn't have chance to sample the food offerings. Please could you pass on my grateful thanks to Freddie who checked me out and listened to my reason for my visit . Could you tell him that everything went REALLY well - and who knows what the future may bring 💘 - he will know what I mean 😉.

    Lack of 24/7 room service

    The building is amazing, and evidently a popular haunt for locals. Plenty of parking , plus disabled parking adjacent to the front entrance. Great breakfast with good service in very pleasant dining room with views of the square. The accessible room was of a very good standard.
