Would be a 5* as an impressive lovely old fashioned hotel. Stayed for coffee and sandwiches. The BLT looked amazing...whilst I opted for the chicken & avocado. Sadly the chicken was processed and about 3 micro dots of avocado. Not much mayo so a tad dry. And very underwhelming. Shame, as i would've given a 5. Maybe rethink the sandwich options.

Very strange place , really nice frontage and reception area , rooms , and lots of nice touches all around but they seriously need a stylist or some kind of sense . they have two bars , the smaller one is perfect but the larger one is far too bright and has a weird layout. Little alcoves which are lit by should be dark to make them a nice snug to sit in . Strangely being Christmas season they shut the bar at midnight even though there was plenty of money to be made catering for the Christmas party crowds but nope . Shutters down .its seems very strange saying no to money in this current climate
