This restaurant was recommended to us and we went for the first time today for a birthday treat. The food was absolutely delicious with generous portions. The service was very good and everyone was extremely friendly. The interior was fascinating, and there was plenty of room between the many tables. We can't wait to go again!

Stayed in November on a deal. Our first visit for a while. First time in a suite and the room was massive! A few things in the room were looking a bit tired but to be expected and doesn't really detract from the experience. We had a power cut for nearly 3 hours due to a storm so couldn't use the facilities or hot tub until the power came back on. The hotel gave us a voucher when we left for the inconvenience which was a higher value than we expected so can't fault them for that. They seem to have improved a few things such as breakfast options and room details since our last visit which is good to see. Although we noticed a few things removed from the menu probably to cut costs. We are looking to go back soon.

Recently stayed in the Raffles room. Great experience as usual. Room was fab, very quirky and lots of lovely freebies. Only comment would be this room has a sauna in the bathroom, great idea, but it does make the room extremely hot! Especially when the radiators were also on! Own little hot tub in cute courtyard outside. All staff were incredibly friendly and professional and willing to go above and beyond. Love the atmosphere here, the food, the rooms, it's the whole package 😊
