Great location. Lovely building. Decor a bit dated and ‘tired’. Faded elegance. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Bathroom very nice. Breakfast fabulous. Staff very friendly and helpful but overall too young and inexperienced, not enough initiative. For example I needed an umbrella- not available, which in a five star hotel is disappointing. Also I asked for a set of playing cards, again not available but no one offered to pop across the road to buy me some. When I asked someone to do this, they did, but it should have been spontaneously suggested by them. Also, I specifically booked rooms next to each other, I telephoned before arrival to confirm, but on arrival only one room was ready and despite the girl leaving a note that the room next door was to be ours, we found later that we had been given rooms two apart- not what I had booked. Not what I had been promised. The rooms were fine, but disappointing that simple instructions were not followed.
Spa is tiny. A nice bonus, but tiny.
