Unusually placed outside Lemington, currently disrupted on all sides by HL7, this beautiful building is quite an impressive vision to approach.
Decades of harsh beatings from a thousand wedding parties have left a mark but the whole complex has been very well maintained and the addition of newer sleeping options which keep a good distance from the main building is reflectively ingenious. The different eras within the complex give the confidence that it's been long established and well run business for a long time, which brings me to the potential downside, over priced.
While everyone working there is super keen(ish) to treat guests well, there feels a dark divide of funding. There is no leyway or movement in the high cost of being there.
It is clearly a place to go when you reach the point of having more money than sense, the food, while incredibly delicious, comes at the price of a body part, a liver or arm perhaps. A meal for two coming in at 3 times the price of the room we stayed in. Essentially, half a year spent saving up 500 pounds is better spent on a long weekend in Paris with similar levels of quality and food, than one rather short evening in the midlands. A bottle of soda stream should never be a tenner!
In short; amazing friendly, happy, almost interested staff in a gorgeous old (and new) hotel, clean and well maintained with a restaurant that serves incredibly beautifully prepared and tasty food that will cost you your soul.
