“Best Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea”

By far the best Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea! Took the hubby for Father’s Day and he absolutely loved it. Food was fantastic and it served his favourite Beavertown Neck Oil IPA so he was a happy camper.

By far the best Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea! Took the hubby for Father’s Day and he absolutely loved it. Food was fantastic and it served his favourite Beavertown Neck Oil IPA so he was a happy camper. Our host Carolina was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. The Manager was a star too as there was a promotion and the hubby got himself a lovely glass to take home and funky t-shirt. I’d say if you’re looking for something for the hubby for a birthday or special day then I’d definitely book the Gentleman’s afternoon tea in the hotel lounge. Best sausage roll I’ve ever tasted. Yummy

Truly amazing, memorable celebration stay with wine & dine package with family and friends over 15 rooms. No-one could believe the great price when booking and once there couldn't believe the attentive staff parking their cars made them feel so special, we had few hours in the Redwood bar chatting to everyone who came either for drinks or those who were staying. The managers encouraged us to move sofas and chairs into how we wanted them so people not left out. They had the lamps on for lovely atmosphere and bar staff were great. We ordered prosecco in ice buckets with plenty glasses to save keep re ordering from bar. After getting room keys around 2pm we took our bags from luggage room dropped them In rooms and returned to Redwood bar til everyone arrived. We all then headed along quayside to check out the small market and fabulous views of our river as we live in this city but everyone loves the quayside. Our evening meal was booked at a time that suited us in the beautiful Maven restaurant in the hotel and again no-one could believe the amazing service we got from being served our starters, I chose onion bhajis but the prawn cocktail went down a storm. A glass of wine was included for everyone and the fabulous main meals were so delicious, we nearly all had the feathered beef dinner. We chose the Quay view rooms as are quieter outside for approx £10each more as being so close to rail station from a lot of rooms you can hear trains ticking along in/out. Rooms lovely, shower lovely, pillows lovely, breakfast lovely again with helpful staff and manager. We all will definitely do stay wine and dine again some already have! We also love Sunday lunches there and there this Sunday too for Father's Day as the Vermont has it all. !! Location, ambience, staff, pricing. Reservation staff so good too with email replies and information. THANK YOU VERMONT from Sherin Belshaw and her family and friends.

Fabulous large room (704) with bath and power shower and a great view overlooking the castle. We were a little put off by the concierge parking at first but the staff were very friendly and informative about the area they put usat ease straight away. We did not have any meals here but look out for special offers in the Maven room of the hotel which looks to have good offers at reasonable prices. The location is great if you come out of the car park for the train station and local pubs, bars and shops just a 5 minute walk away. ( We did the Toon bus tour which was well worth the money as it lasts all day so you have plenty of time to visit the attractions). If you go in the lift to the 1st floor you are only a short walk from the quayside with lots of outdoor seating areas for food and drink. They do take £50 deposit in case you have anything from the minibar or late in the hotel but I guess this is a sign of the times. Overall we were treated very well and had a great stay.

Vermont say the don't have it and my bank said that it isn't in my account, all a bit strange! Never used any mini bar and the room was left as we found it.
