    Staff and guests are confused at breakfast

    Confusion at breakfast dining. We chose not to have a breakfast package. Morning 1, we thought we would just have an ala carte breakfast in the breakfast room. All good, ordered, ate, and left. Morning 3 was told that ala carte was impossible in the breakfast room, only the £35 per head. Confused, very much. Had to eat breakfast in the Courtyard because they only catered for the full £35 breakfast in the breakfast room. Manager was all good about it and looked after us, but found out that Thomas the Manager had charged us the £70 for 2 for the full breakfast on day 1. Day 3 Manager sorted it out, but really shouldn't be that difficult when every other Hotels across the globe can accommodate a package breakfast or an al a carte in the same room!!.

    Great comfortable beds, awesome location. Great competent front of house staff.

    Very poor wardrobe space. Ironing board and iron plus keep fit mat took up too much room. Small window for castle view.

    Breakfast staff were excellent. Especially on reception.

    It feels a bit tired, perhaps has lost its edge a little. Lacks a bit of spirit or something, a bit soulless.

    Great location and heritage.

    Breakfast and room service food was not up to standard, we paid for a rate that included breakfast but had breakfast outside for the rest of our stay after trying the hotel breakfast on our first morning. Our bedroom bathroom was so small and the complimentary amenities were limited to just handwash and body cream, shampoo conditioner no other personal care items and no rubbish bin plastic liner placed in the bathroom bin through out all of our stay and no rubbish bin placed in the bedroom, for a room that costs 585 GBP a night I would expect or a more luxury 5 star service.

    Location was central which was great. The actual building was beautiful from the inside, room was fairly spacious.

    The tv was way too big and you couldn’t see it from the bed as it was at an angle and you couldn’t move it. Also you couldn’t use the plugs at the dressing table to dry or style your hair as the table was higher than the plug sockets . Room wasn’t done even though we were there for 3 nights

    Beautiful hotel, great location.

    Battled to get warm water in the show, took a very long time to reach a point where it was comfortable to shower.

    Felt homely, reception and concierge were attentive and did what I asked.

    While the room was pretty, the view was on to a internal A/C system. So we just kept the curtains shut. Could not get the room to heat up. Our fault for not calling reception TBH- we just got on with it. The Spa facilities were more like a leisure centre with kids screaming and shouting,. The Sauna/ Steam Room were tiny

    I have wanted to stay at this hotel for a while so decided to treat myself. It was lovely, but wasn't amazing. Stunning building with very helpful staff. Room was very nice and bed was comfy. Breakfast was great. Very high quality and set me up for the day.
