Really good Service and Quality Amenities

friendly staff delicious curry good location
The staff were very friendly and caring I particularly enjoyed the curry room, but the brasserie is also fine. The Crown Cocktail Bar makes a nice beginning to the evening. Turn-down service is a good touch, and it ensures that towels are changed twice a day if needed.
The entrance was a bit misleading on arrival I found parking difficult due to a small lay by area
