Really good Art Deco Stay

helpful receptionistprompt serviceart deco
The receptionist Anne was helpful. Also the staff were polite and friendly. The hotel was fully booked due to a wedding but service was prompt. A bonus was the spitfire flight taking off from the airfield the next morning. I appreciated the Art Deco details throughout the hotel. The design really enhanced the experience. The beer selection was GREAT too.
The curtains in the room seemed OLD, with slight rips.

buffet breakfastsecure parking
i found the breakfast buffet convenient with a good, buffet-style setup. the secure parking ON the premises gave me peace of mind, though there was limited signage.
the member of staff on the bar gave me the impression that they are not warm enough.
