For my husband and I, the hotel sadly didn’t live up to expectation. The staff at times were friendly but seemed quite distracted with the general running of the hotel and often weren’t present and frequently unable to answer our queries or questions. The room we’d paid to stay in was very basic and we’d booked a luxurious romantic suite which aside from the £36 extra I had to pay for the champagne on arrival, the room was very small and not sound proof and we were paying £160 per night. The water in the shower was warm or cold and very little water would come out of the actual shower
