Where to start. We initially checked in and was given our room. After 3pm. However when we got to the room it was dirty and still to be cleaned after the previous occupant checked out. Stale left over Chinese takeaway included! Eventually refused the cleaning of the room (apparently a house keeping error) and demanded an alternative room. The new room was clean and comfortable (especially the bed) but again some of the expected items were missing, including the complimentary slippers. Bath robes very crusty and uncomfortable. Half way through are evening we returned to the room and found that my wife’s perfume was missing and there was a pile of toilet tissue in the shower! Bizarre. Thinking the perfume had possibly been misplaced we checked again at the end of our event when we again returned to our room. We then found that a bottle of expensive wine we had left in our room had been taken and my aftershave. In total 3 stolen items. Reported to reception first thing the following morning and after breakfast we travelled home. On arriving home the hotel called to say all 3 items had been found by housekeeping in our room! I’ll let you be the judge of whether we were incompetent and needing urgent eye tests or the items were stolen and simply the management knew how they could recover the items. When I collected the items despite a receptionists apologies there was no concern shown by the hotel about the theft. No comment or approach by hotel management.

Hotel was lovely, the privilege room was very nice, would definitely stay again. However access from the car park was a pain. I also paid for parking and they sold the space to someone else so I had to pay in a public car park elsewhere. They also didn't check me in when I arrived. I came back that night and they had no record of me even though my stuff was in the room and I had a key. They were friendly and helpful sorting it, but having issues in the first place was a pain.

Okay all in all
I was told on booking that car park was included yet on arrival I was told no you have to pay another £10 for parking Arrived 9:30pm, was told we had 30 minutes to order food before the kitchen closed. Went to what I assumed was a bar to order food, the very clueless girl working there was "not sure" whether we could still order food. We told her reception said we had until 10. She then rang the kitchen to ask if we could have food. She then asked us what we wanted, we had to explain we need a menu first? Just ordered chips in the end, no sauce, no salt, no cutlery, no side plates, nothing just a tiny bowl of chips. Side door that led into carpark was left unlocked from saturday night until monday morning making us a bit nervous on sunday night as anybody could have wandered in. Sunday morning our room key wouldnt let us back in, went to reception & were told this was likely because we left our keycard too close to our phones - we didnt even have our phones with us. We were able to get back in the room then. But throughout the day the keycard wouldnt let us back into the room, a further 3 times we had to go back down to reception or get a housekeeper to let us in. This morning our keycard wouldnt let us back in AGAIN. We found the head housekeeper who came with her master key to let us back in. Even that didnt work and she had to go get another key to let us in. Annoying and bizarre. Nice and clean enough tho, lovely reception & housekeeping staff
