Excellent service and food

It was amazing, the food was beyond belief and the room was so comfortable. Apart from the access from the walk from the car park due to the building work, everything was just perfect.

Outstanding staff at the Marquis

The Marquis has just completed renovations, and while there were a few teething problems, the staff was wonderful. They could not have done more to make our stay wonderful. Special shout out to David, Ryann, Lucy, Emma, Kate, Annabelle, Carmin, and everyone else we came in contact with, all were wonderful. The spa and pool were not even mentioned as they just opened, the facility is one of the best we ever visited, again with the staff to match. We are looking forward to our next stay.

The hotel was beautiful, the room was clean and warm. We had a fantastic stay, just wish we could of stayed for longer! The only negative I have is that there was building work going on which we weren’t aware of before we booked, however we stayed over a bank holiday so it didn’t effect our stay.

We stayed in the ground floor room, separate from the main building and it was superb. One recommendation would be to have some plants or something on the patio to keep it private from the people on the main terrace.

Definitely a wedding night to remember!

We spent our wedding night at the Marquis, it was the best night to end a perfect day. The venue is absolutely stunning, we stayed in the Cornwallis Suite. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a romantic get away, with amazing views from the balcony. All staff from the front desk to the chefs in the kitchen were all so nice, I’ve never stayed in a hotel with a more welcoming feel to it. Thank you to everyone there for making it so special for us.

Beautiful but over priced

Unfortunately not dog friendly Parking quite away particularly as weather was wet Room was lovely no complaints but expensive Food over priced especially as portions not very big so didn’t stay for breakfast as bacon sandwich was £22🙃

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Good quality of service. Good quality building and room presentation. Good location. Overall vib, very positive. Access to rooms difficult for the less mobile. Distance from car park to reception too long and without cover. Building works on property redevelopment gave a poor first impression. Breakfast too expensive and no simple/basic choices. No bespoke storage for bikes.

Short Break

We spent two midweek nights at the Marquis. Major building works were being carried out. This did not effect our stay. We booked an evening meal for one night. The food was very good but overpriced. The wine was also good but again overpriced, in our opinion. We did have breakfast. Because we didn’t want a large one, we chose two sweeter dishes. But again, we just thought it was on the expensive side. Our room was lovely. Bed & pillows both comfy. The shower was very good. The staff were friendly. It was difficult to get anyones attention when we were on the lower terrace to order drinks. There were staff about but their attention was elsewhere. Would we stay again, possibly.

Beautiful hotel, shame about the food.

A lovely comfortable hotel with beautiful decor and warm friendly staff. Rooms are not sound proofed- so you are able to hear a lot of noise around dinner time. The room it self was beautiful, with a comfortable bed and cosy lighting. The bathroom was nice- the shower was wonderful. Unfortunately our trip was let down by the food! My husband had a full English breakfast, in which we did have to complain as the sausage appeared to be raw. They apologised profusely, took our plates and spoke to the chef, on his return he told us the sausage was probed and was certainly cooked, however the sausage was pink as they have pink preserve in them! Is this a thing? I certainly haven’t come across this before. Surely a good sausage wouldn’t need “pink preserve” in it ! £4 was take off my husband’s £20 breakfast as good will- even though he only had 20% of his breakfast due to being put off.
