i stayed for a few nights and the food was excellent. the breakfast was superb with great brunch and dinner options. i was pleased that the team were great, very helpful and efficient. i especially enjoyed the bloody mary served by harry.
The room lacked proper soundproofing, and i heard noise from the car park. This continued late into the night. delivery vans also added to the noise in the early hours.
