Lovely hotel but had a few issues
On arriving, receptionist was on the phone, so we waited. Then when the call was ended she made another call saying to us I’ll be with you in a moment? Bit rude as we were standing there in the flesh? Went into the bar in the evening and ordered 2 drinks from the bar, we were told to take a seat and they would be brought over to us. We waiting over 20 minutes and had to leave as we were attending a concert so never had our drinks. Apart from those two things our room was lovely, although did look a bit worn in places. The bath was amazing and bed very comfortable. View was perfect. Also most staff were friendly. Would return but maybe needs either more staffing or training.

Great location and friendly staff. The only downside is the lack of onsite parking sport but there are plenty of parking options nearby which helps a lot.

Almost a really good hotel
A pleasant, clean, well-maintained hotel in an ideal position, with friendly, helpful staff and good breakfasts. But yet another hotel where the designer has had the last word. Hotel managers should spend a week in each room in their hotel, then there would be more drawer space, plenty of sockets at useful heights, hooks for coats (especially damp ones), brighter lighting and comfortable armchairs instead of baths in bedrooms, mirrors everywhere except near the hairdryer socket, and no shaver socket. Our 3 night stay was enjoyable, but with a bit more thought given to practical living, it could have been so much better.

Poet House Stay
The room was very boujee. Creature comforts such as robes, slipers, and toiletries get a big thums up. Room 19. The door handle to the room door was concerningly loose. It was escalated to the front desk but still awaiting repair after two nights stay. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was too hot. It could do with controls that we could adjust.
