Laura Ashley The Iliffe

A lovely hotel with nice original features, furnitings and good staff.

Rooms cold on arrival.

Loved the room interior and furnishings, though the space was not the biggest, it felt lovely and luxurious. I only had fruit salad and porridge for my breakfast but it was perfect- you'd be surprised how many times that can go wrong. Lovely interior space, cosy feel, glad I stayed.

Room was a little tight.

Love this hotel. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Beautifully decorated as you would expect with a Laura Ashley themed hotel. Dinner was interesting as there were a few hiccups with the plates. The menu had just been changed and the chef made a few mistakes. However, all was sorted efficiently by the manager. The food served was good.

Our only issue was that someone tried to break into our vehicle and smashed the rear window. It was parked in the rear car park under a security camera but this did not deter the thugs. The hotel manager was very apologetic and tried to help as much as he could. However, I am still waiting to hear if there was any evidence on the footage from the camera.

Laura Ashley furnishings were lovely

Bit noisy next to the road

Staff were very polite and accommodating
