I’ve never stayed in a hotel where every single member of staff were so friendly helpful and attentive. In particular our lovely waiter that served us each morning for breakfast. I think his name was justin. I would highly recommend this hotel. It was spotlessly clean.

Great stay at The Palace. The staff are exceptional, very well trained and went out of their way to ensure our stay was as good as it could have been. The food here is also of a very high standard. Surrounding area is very built up but The Palace is a calm oasis.
