Very clean and up to date decor with a very cosy feel. TV system was outdated but they provide access to sky movies which did the job! Overall it was one of the best looking hotels I’ve stayed in.

Bad start to my second visit
Second visit, not the best dinner service, potatoes were cold, was ignored by the staff and left after one course, however on the plus side, the cod was beautifully cooked and i didn't get charged for the meal.

This hotel gave me immediate super villain lair vibes but I was blown away by the experience. It’s very fancy and nice and the rooms were so clean and perfect, bed was REALLY comfortable and given water, tea, coffee every day. Food expensive but wasn’t here for the food. Can tell it’s aimed at business people and not holiday makers.
