Breakfast and dinner in the restaurant was of a very high standard. The hotel was absolutely beautiful, staff were friendly and professional. All round a wonderful stay.
It would have been even better if the lunch menu was made available in the lounge bar. There wasn't a menu so it wasn't clear if food was allowed other than in the main restaurant. It would have also been lovely to have coffee and cake made available in the afternoon. Again I didn't see any menu or provision for light treats. This would have been perfect while enjoying the spa.

The building and setting were both very nice
We had a problem with our en suite, but the duty manager Tracey was very fair in making it right

The Marquis has beautiful modern facilities. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast and lunch were both of a high standard. John behind the bar was friendly and helpful.
Check in after 4pm and out by 11am is quite restrictive. Staff service was erratic - our waiter at breakfast was having a bad day and confused most of our order. Reception staff were brusque at best. On such a hot day it was very disappointing that we had no use of the pool facilities - apparently these are only for those who book treatments, which is unusual - given no one was using the pool this was frustrating. For what we paid (nearly £300) it also felt a bit much that breakfast was additional.
