Really good Stay with Perfect Service

breakfast choiceshelpful staffdietary optionsfriendly staff
The breakfast offered many choices that catered to everyone in my group. There were vegetarian, gluten, and dairy-free options available. Some of us had large appetites and selected the full English. We agreed we would stay here again if another event brings us back. The staff were indeed fabulous. They were friendly and helpful.
The bathroom ceiling required attention as peeling paint was visible. This seemed to result from condensation, a minor issue.

The all saints suite easily accommodated our group of three adults. It offered ample space! breakfast included delicious options, and i found the honesty bar to be a great addition. i especially appreciated the availability of oat milk in the room, alongside gluten-free choices for breakfast. the staff ensured i had a really good experience overall.
i found the shower entrance to be a bit narrow, perhaps only 18 inches wide.
