Plants all dying in courtyard from what appears to be lack of water. Very sad outlook from restaurant, mentioned to staff member who said it wasn’t his job but when we looked up from our meals buckets of water we’re being carried out ☹️☹️☹️

Period building, with historic furnishings. Stylish period decorations. Every room is different; ours was a queen with a high comfortable bed (be wary if you are not too tall!). The bathroom was en-suite, though with no door to separate it from the bedroom itself. Nice shower. There was a stocked minibar. There was a small tv- small, and of cheap quality- it seemed beneath what this 4 star hotel should have. Parking was a problem. When we arrived (at 3pm) I was told there was no space left in the hotel car and had to find somewhere in the street. I was concerned by this, as we were leaving some luggage in the car, and was not impressed that the hotel car park (which we could see from our bedroom) had spaces in it all night. Overall we would not choose to stay at Craig’s Royal again- it was not to our taste.
