I recently enjoyed a lovely weekend at this hotel, where the upgrade to an executive room was a delightful surprise. The spacious and immaculate room set the tone for a great stay. Breakfast and dinner were highlights, with impressive dishes served quickly despite a busy restaurant. The spa facilities, particularly the hot tub, provided the perfect relaxation spot. However, some areas for improvement include overpriced dining options and the walkability due to the hotel's size, which might be a bit taxing for older guests.

I had a lovely experience dining here for afternoon tea in a charming and relaxed setting. The staff were polite and attentive, making adjustments to our order without any fuss. The food was pleasant overall, although there were a few minor letdowns with the jam and dessert. The wedding I attended was magical, with fantastic service and beautifully presented food, contributing to an unforgettable day. However, the hotel could improve on some aspects regarding noise insulation and attention to details.
