Gourmet Breakfast Delight

The breakfast options were a highlight of our stay. The homemade granola was exceptionally tasty, and I loved being able to create my own mix of muffins, eggs, and bacon. Everything was fresh and delicious, truly a good start to our day.

Luxurious Suite Experience

Staying in a suite was a real treat. The spacious layout allowed us to gather comfortably, and the large, well-furnished bathroom was perfect for relaxation. I particularly appreciated the high-quality mattress that ensured a restful night's sleep.

Really good Afternoon Tea

The afternoon tea experience was excellent! The vegan options were well-thought-out, with delicious sandwiches and warm scones that made me feel special. Our server, Luke, provided attentive service that enhanced our overall experience tremendously.

My stay at the Captain's Club Hotel was simply fabulous. The service was outstanding, making every moment delightful, and the views over the river were breathtaking. The spa offered a relaxing atmosphere, although I found the mobile phone use in there a bit off-putting. The breakfast had a fantastic variety, and I loved the attention to detail in the dining experience, but I noticed the outside lights were quite bright at night. Overall, it was a memorable visit with minor room for improvement.

I had a lovely afternoon tea with my mum for her birthday, enjoying the great ambiance and delicious food. However, I was disappointed with my parking experience as I received a fine despite paying for my time.
