Two night stay
Everyone has been very pleasant and helpful however I was very disappointed when we tried to eat in on Saturday evening. We were never told we had to book a table nor were we informed there would be an event that evening allowing food only to be served in the bar area. We were eventually accommodated with another table being set up. However the bar was busy and it was surprising that all the coats of the event guests were hung in the bar area which certainly detracted from the ambience. I would have thought they should have been placed in an area actually rented by the wedding party.

Stayed in this hotel because of the central location and availability of parking (extra £26). Quality of room was excellent as was the breakfast. Bathroom was very compact but adequate with good water pressure. Staff were friendly. Had a slight hiccup at check-in when they charged me for the room even though it had been prepaid; however, this was quickly sorted out at check out.

Hotel in general is good but toilet is small, this maybe because of historical reasons. Bentley tour is not easy for booking if you stay for one night or better check in early as possible to reserve a tour.
