Room and hotel were okay, unfortunately my room was over the train track which don’t help with the nights sleep. We went around the corner to the next door hotel as this had a better lounge for a meeting and just generally a better layout.

Copthorne Tara - Pay your money & take your chance
On arrival, we had to wait nearly 15 minutes to be assigned 2 superior grade double rooms - once allocated (one on the 3rd floor and one on the second) The room on the 3rd floor wasnt bad at all - unless you count the sliding bathroom door being off its runners so couldnt be used and secondly, the fact that the water didnt work in the shower - but lets get to the real fun! We entered the room on the 2nd floor, dirty uphonstery, 1 chair despite it being a double room,

The location is good. The public areas are ok but the rooms are dated. The bathroom had been sort of updated a bit but the job was badly done with thick silicone spread around the bath. Cheap job probably . Breakfast area was bedlam when we stayed. They ended up opening up the “conference “ type area to seat people. By the time we managed to get outlets it was getting cold.

Not as good as it’s letting on…
Room was extremely dated and small for 2 adults & 1 child. Housekeepers didn’t seem to understand ‘no’ when we were in the room and proceeded to try to enter anyway. One day they left our room door open while we were out all day!
