Room was lovely, clean, comfortable and well maintained. If i was being picky, an extra chair would have been beneficial. Bar and restaurant were fab and the staff attentive. No fault of the hotel but the lack of parking on site means using very expensive local NCP (the hotel did have a discount card to reduce your parking charges, but longer stays are still expensive)."
