Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Some rooms lack windows — A guest noted that certain rooms may not have windows, so it's worth asking when booking if natural light is important to you.
- No parking on site — The hotel does not list parking amenities, and with no pets allowed, it's best to plan for airport transfers or car hire (available on request).
- Price point is high — With rates from £396 per night, it's a premium option, though the superior facilities and service may justify the cost.
