One of the reasons I try to stay away from larger hotels, having lived in holiday Inns for 5 years. Housekeeping should allow the staff a little more time on occasions to do a deep clean in the rooms.

I had booked a group on Champagne Cream Tea at the Caledonian Hotel for Saturday 28 April as a treat for my husband for his 59th birthday, and we thought it was lovely.

Stayed here for 2 nights early Aapril. Very nice. Rooms a little small and the lift is a bit scary but the staff are very helpfull and we had a lovely stay. Would definately return.

The area is very nice with plenty of hotels, pubs etc. - something for everyone. We had an evening meal in... More
