The hotel was great the room was ideal for our purposes and all the staff we interacted with were very helpful and friendly. We all enjoyed the lunches too.
The room was very hot as the air conditioning was not working, we were provided with fans which did help.

Beautiful hotel with a great space for workshops and masterclasses
The room was incredibly hot. I wasn’t notified about the need to rebook parking and was lumbered with a £32 parking bill. Management were very helpful and hopefully the events manager issues a reimbursement.
