We stayed here on a Saturday night, last minute booking. The hotel is beautiful, it obviously was a grand house in its time. Very quiet and spotlessly clean. The staff are really polite and helpful. Unfortunately there is no licenced bar but the hotel allows you to consume your own alcohol in the public places. Personally, the lack of a bar area impacts on the ambience. Although, for some people this might be to their liking. We stayed in a double room which was clean and had all the amenities that you would expect, albeit a little old. Our bed was not very comfortable (room 16) but for such a big hotel it is very well heated. No cooked breakfast but plenty as an alternative, meats, cheeses, pastries, fruit, cereal etc. This hotel just needs a little TLC.
