Very nice place to spend
We had a lovely stay at the Marquis, our suite was lovely and had a private west facing balcony so we watched a lovely sunset over the river.
Dinner was excellent, as was the wine, highly recommended.
Staff were all really friendly and helpful.
Lovely location & view, good size rooms, good service and nice food at dinner and breakfast. Food was towards the pricey end but it was worth it. We will definitely return.
We spent our wedding night at the Marquis, it was the best night to end a perfect day. The venue is absolutely stunning, we stayed in the Cornwallis Suite. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a romantic get away, with amazing views from the balcony. All staff from the front desk to the chefs in the kitchen were all so nice, I’ve never stayed in a hotel with a more welcoming feel to it. Thank you to everyone there for making it so special for us.
The Marquis has just completed renovations, and while there were a few teething problems, the staff was wonderful. They could not have done more to make our stay wonderful. Special shout out to David, Ryann, Lucy, Emma, Kate, Annabelle, Carmin, and everyone else we came in contact with, all were wonderful.
The spa and pool were not even mentioned as they just opened, the facility is one of the best we ever visited, again with the staff to match.
We are looking forward to our next stay.
A lovely comfortable hotel with beautiful decor and warm friendly staff.
Rooms are not sound proofed- so you are able to hear a lot of noise around dinner time.
The room it self was beautiful, with a comfortable bed and cosy lighting.
The bathroom was nice- the shower was wonderful.
Unfortunately our trip was let down by the food!
My husband had a full English breakfast, in which we did have to complain as the sausage appeared to be raw.
They apologised profusely, took our plates and spoke to the chef, on his return he told us the sausage was probed and was certainly cooked, however the sausage was pink as they have pink preserve in them!
Is this a thing? I certainly haven’t come across this before. Surely a good sausage wouldn’t need “pink preserve” in it !
£4 was take off my husband’s £20 breakfast as good will- even though he only had 20% of his breakfast due to being put off.
Visually the place makes a very good impact. Dinner, the food was excellent as were the staff.
Breakfast … we’d booked it at check in. We turned up to breakfast and there was nothing booked , the service at breakfast was okay , we did have to case up something.
But overall we had a very good stay and would return.

Delightful stay at a charming hotel where the staff and facilities are second to none!!
Will definitely be returning.
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wonderful, relaxing overnight stay, excellent food, great staff, would definitely come back and certainly recommend a visit, whether staying or just for the food and ambience.
It was amazing, the food was beyond belief and the room was so comfortable. Apart from the access from the walk from the car park due to the building work, everything was just perfect.
