easy check-inluggage service
The hotel offered easy check-in. My baggage was picked up from the station. I found this a great idea. Messages were sent before arrival regarding bedding and luggage. Questions about local pubs were answered easily (I really wanted to know more about local places!).
A set of drawers next to the wardrobe would have helped. It would have saved me from living out of my suitcase for a few nights.

I was really touched by the baby extras, like the tipi and toys in the room. the hotel restaurant had really good food. i found the spa amazing, a real highlight of the trip. the staff were helpful. Every request was met with a smile.
i found a very slight issue with the room, the bathroom was a bit small for the bath size, this made it slightly awkward to use.

excellent interiorswarm feelingcomplimentary pantry
The hotel had excellent interiors and it gave me such a warm feeling. The room was nice and clean. I particularly appreciated the complimentary pantry. It was fully stocked with snacks and drinks. I was grateful for this thoughtful addition to my visit. I will consider a next time.
the staff are very friendly, but the parking situation is complicated. It is limited, so I recommend to book it earlier, otherwise, you must find a car park elsewhere.
