We stayed 1 night at Gadds Town House. The service was good and the staffs were friendly. However, the room was very small and the air-con was not working so it was very warm. We also had a dinner at the Grill Restaurant. The food was good and the price was reasonable. The steak we ordered medium rare came out... More

Eleven of us in an extended family group aged from 12 to 85 had a lovely evening here with brilliant food and atmosphere. The reception area is very plush and dimly-lit, setting the scene for an intimate restaurant with a different "feel". We found the menu extensive and reasonably-priced for its quality - the scallops starter is to die for.... More

We paid £240.00 the weekend rate and I think it is over priced this is why: the toliet seat was broken and very difficult to open, the shower cubicle was cracked the jets, steam, radio and massage functions were all broken, which meant only the shower worked but only for a few minutes as the tray was over flowing. I... More

Stayed one night at Gadds Town House in the Edwardian Express room, which was lovely, quirky and really comfy bed! The hotel is refreshingly different and works really well as a special occasion / treat. The prices can be a little high for a night accommodation, but you have to think you won't get this specialist hotel in many places.... More

We stayed at the gadds town house on Saturday night. It was a last minute type thing. Very expensive at £220 per night but as it was our first time away since becoming parents we decided to treat ourselves. The hotel is very opulent on arrival with the boutique feel and very dimly lit. The receptionist was lovely and showed... More

Stayed in Le Jardin for 2 nights in March as birthday treat. I wanted a room with outside hot tub, with good views, peace and quiet. This is what we got. Bed was comfy, slept really well, bed linen could have done with being ironed as it looked like it had come stright out of tumble dryer and was extemely... More
