I had a delightful stay overall, with friendly and attentive service contributing to a luxurious feel. The outdoor pool was a real treat, perfect for those sunny afternoons. However, I was disappointed with the restaurant; the dining experience didn't match the hotel's high standards and felt underwhelming. Prices were on the higher side, especially given the food quality.

We had a wonderful spa break at The Grand, where the service was outstanding and reminiscent of the best hotels I've experienced. The spa treatments were quite enjoyable, although the ambiance was occasionally disrupted by children in the pool area. Overall, the dining experience was pleasant, with a great selection for breakfast and an adequate dinner, though it didn't quite reach five-star quality. I would definitely return to this hotel, especially for the dedicated service and cozy atmosphere.

The hotel has a grand and historical charm, making it an interesting place to stay. The indoor pool and afternoon tea service were delightful highlights, alongside the excellent breakfast. However, the rooms could use some TLC, and I encountered issues that detracted from the overall value, especially given the expectations set for a five-star hotel.
