I stayed at this hotel for 1 night with my large dog and found it delightful. The service was just perfect in every sense, and it had all of those small touches that make a difference, for example ipod dock, comfy slippers and bathrobes and a decent hairdryer. Our room (standard room, not a suite) was huge with good seating area, desk / sofa etc and a large bathroom with both a bath and walk in shower. There was also a large balcony with views of the garden which was beautifully lit at night. The gardens are extensive and lovely, but really what is outstanding about this hotel is the sevice. I even thought I must be imagining things when I noticed in the morning that my room service plates had been cleared, but then remembered I had popped out to the car for a moment the previous evening and they had obviously taken the opportunity to unobtrusively clear up while I was out of the room. So many out of town hotels don't offer the little 'extras' such as someone to help with your bags, and I really appreciated that this hotel did not overlook these small things that make a stay more comfortable. The food was exceptional, they were wonderful with my dog and this hotel was definitely well above average for the price.
