Still a lovely hotel but standards have dropped
I’ve stayed here many times and rate it excellent as a hotel but sadly my latest stay was disappointing. I always book myself a suite, they are luxurious rooms with the most comfortable bed. You also get a complimentary bar including spirits and a box of chocolates which is a lovely touch. Sadly this is no longer provided and even the slippers have been downgraded to a cheap alternative. Left feeling standards have dropped on what used to be such a luxurious hotel.
