Rooms are looking very tired. First room toilet was blocked and air con didn’t work. Second room was better. Receptionist was very helpful - although it’s the first time I’ve been addressed as ‘pal’ when I’ve been checking in.

polite and friendly. Our room was spotless although the room seemed a bit tired and could use a bit of updating. Bar and restaurant staff were professional and friendly too. Our only peeve was that we weren't allowed to tip the staff. I dont understand why we couldn't when we felt they did a good job. Overall,a lovely stay and id recommend the Copthorne Tara.for a pleasant experience. we were not allowed to tip the staff,which
