Brilliant place, second visit, only went 4/5 on area round property as it's tranquil (which some like) but about a 10 mins walk to centre / train station, which I don't mind hence staying again.

Rooms were ok. Breakfast service could be improved, if they could offer real coffee instead of the instant one and real orange juice.

Poor quality toilet paper. Need explanation in room about getting out of the car park with the need to go half mile south. Why not have separate entrance and exit onto Park Avenue?

Comfortable clean and welcoming Breakfast was a little disappointing because I felt the croissant were a bit dry, the juice a bit weak, and the tea unlike previous tea and no vegan spread , I had mentioned this I was dairy free prior on booking sheet.

Frustrating Experience Despite Good Potential

Sadly, our stay at The Starling Cloud left us disappointed. When checking in, we found the breakfast pricing didn’t match what was shown during online check-in, even though I’d called ahead and was assured it would be the same. After arrival, only three beds were made up despite the booking clearly being for two adults and two children, so I had to return to reception to get the final bed sorted. On top of that, the TV remote didn’t work, which was frustrating after a long day. Overall, it felt like a series of small issues that added up to a poor experience.

Stayed here for one night and could not fault it. The staff were all very helpful, the room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
