Really disappointed for the price food was awful throughout first evening ate in the vault bar took over and hour for main courses to arrived and food was poor, breakfast not worth the money at all hardly any options and most things have a £6 surcharge really poor quality and portion sizes.Ordered room service macaroni cheese inedible dry and cold on arrival. Hotel could be lovely but looks tired we arrived and checked in to windows open in hard rain and carpets and sofa bed all wet.

Family of 3 generations

All staff were very friendly and helpful. When we couldn't find a table for my mum to eat at in the bar, the receptionist booked us into the restaurant immediately. Breakfast was delicious and beds very comfortable.
