I'll keep this review short, or I'll end up recounting "amusing" stories about the wedding we attended here. Well, one of work colleagues invited me and Liz to her wedding, and we all stayed at the Grand, which was where they had the reception. It was a "black tie" day (even the church which felt a bit odd, but everybody... more

Have just returned from a Winter warmer weekend at the Grand. We had a really good time despite experiencing some of the worst weather of the year. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.

We had a room in a turret (326) which had plenty of windows but when we opened them the traffic noise was very bad. There was... more

Stayed here on a special deal (2 nights for the price of 1) so quite happy with price paid, but would not have been terribly happy if we had paid full price. Room fine - fairly big and clean, and turndown service in the evening was a very nice touch. Reception staff very efficient but service on first morning at... more
