    My room was excellent. However it was on a side corridor and there was no signage saying that, so having driven four hours I walked to the end of a long corridor and had to walk back with my bags to find where my room was. Please put signage up for that side corridor!

    Staff were lovely and were completely honest the minute I arrived about the fact the TVs and wifi weren't working and that I would be given £35 towards dinner as compensation. There were options for dinner and I went to their lovely restaurant, again staff were excellent and the food was delicious, with great choices. Would definitely come again.

    I think any issues eg scaffolding outside will be addressed in the very near future when the excellent refurbishment is completed

    Excellent friendly staff throughout the hotel . The small issues arising from refurbishment were fairly addressed by the offer of bar credit. The hotel is very dog friendly and there are different areas to suit individual preferences regarding space and noise levels.

    Lack of car parking, which was available on other visits. No televisions working, although a beverage allowance was given to reflect this. Scaffolding and workmen; some noise of drilling etc during the day. No information folder in room. Staff during the day seemed really good. Very attentive and friendly. Dinner service not so good. Young staff, although pleasant, not really trained to the correct level. Extremely long wait for main course and dessert, in fact we gave up waiting for the dessert. Apparently there was a function for 150 on and the kitchen was struggling. This shouldn’t happen. Functions shouldn’t spoil the stay for residents. Breakfast good quality etc, but didn’t like the fact that you could choose one plate only on the continental. I like granola, plus the fresh fruit selection. The servings seemed small. Cooked breakfast which my husband had was good though.

    Location and refurbished areas.

    If you are easily disturbed by noise then ask for for a room not facing the cathedral . We were in room 123 . The noise from the air conditioning units outside the rooms windows was loud and very annoying.

    The staff were friendly and keen to help. The table service in the bar was excellent. And the the bar food was superb. The bed in room 123 was large and comfortable also.

    Bathroom was a bit ricketty / dated. Building work going on around us - builders on scaffolding outside our window at 7.30 am. but a short-term problem. Car park unavailable - we were not informed until we arrived. Nearby public car park was fine but added £19 to our 2 day stay.

    Lovely old hotel just near the cathedral and great shopping. Staff welcoming, friendly and helpful. Good breakfast options. Comfortable.

    Check in and check out approach. Receptionist was counting a lot of cash whilst I waited at the desk. It was a room with one person. Awkward queue outside the room like waiting for the headmaster. Unnecessary admin process at check out. Had to wait for the couple and child to finish writing a letter for the receptionist which was nothing to do with checking in or out. Waited half an hour to actually leave the hotel.

    Lots of attention to detail. None of the shoddy decor often found in hotels. Felt very grand. Wanted for nothing as part of the actual stay.

    The room we were originally given was really quite poor, small and with scaffolding covering the window and a very depressing outlook. It also had a connecting door to another room, which we know from bitter experience is not a good idea and we certainly had no need of one, We went straight down to Reception and within minutes were given a vastly superior room. The hotel was not full so I'm not sure why it couldn't have been given in the first place.

    It was lovely to see the renovation of the hotel as we had stayed there last year and the decor etc. was now really super. The room we were eventually given was absolutely lovely, spacious, clean and with excellent facilities. The bar area was great and the staff attentive and friendly, it had a very good atmosphere to sit and have a drink and the range of cocktails was excellent. The reception staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient as were staff in the breakfast room. Breakfast was tasty although I would really have expected some fresh fruit on the buffet part.
