Lovely Weekend away

We were met by Leah at reception. What a lovely happy warm welcome. Beautiful smile. The room was nice. Tea/coffee making facilities. Ensuite shower room. We had an amazing and very yummy 5 course Valentines dinner. Christina, our waitress was fantastic. Happy and friendly and made us smile with her happy energy. The hotel is well placed, nice and close to local shops and pubs. A nice hiking route around the Wey, starting just across the road. We will be back.

Excellent stay and perfect location

An amazing hotel with a superb breakfast. The room was spacious and clean. The hotel was situated a few minutes walk from the centre and the River Tyne. Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our room overlooked the River and the choice of breakfast was fab.b

Best Birthday Trip.

We had a three day trip to Edinburgh. We stayed at the Palmerston suites we were greeted by the very polite Ramana. After reading reviews of where we were staying honestly we were not looking forward to it. But on arrival at our room we were pleasantly surprised. A nice big window I lovely comfortable bed with white bedding a very useful kitchenette and a bathroom that was much needed. In fact it had everything we needed clean and well presented. If we come back to Edinburgh, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Edinburgh was amazing the architecture the buildings the scenery the garden is absolutely fantastic. We loved it all.
