The Dakota Hotels are a beautiful collection of Hotels where you feel special from the moment you arrive. It’s easy to pre book the valet parking and the treats that are left in your vehicle when you leave are a super gesture. Breakfast is wonderful, overall a brilliant Hotel with fabulously luxurious furnishings. I couldn’t fault at all x

The room was beautiful. Bed and pillows very comfy and the room was cleaned to a high standard. It was difficult to get to sleep due to the music from a near by pub and the coffee machine didn’t work it just made a huge mess on the bench. But we did enjoy our stay and would definitely return
