Our first visit to Royal Tunbridge Wells which was rather soggy so I don't think we got to see it fully. However, the bits we saw and the hotel were a lovely intro. Hotel is about 20 mins from the centre. We had a side room which was perfectly comfortable but with the large windows did make us feel a little exposed. Next time we would ask for a view of the gardens which are lovely. We had a treatment each (thank you, Abby) and used the spa and gym facilities which are lovely. Breakfast was great and the staff here were friendly, special thanks to Kira. We ate out both evenings but had a quick drink in the bar one night. My only comment, and maybe only because of the time of year, so couldn't sit outside, is that the comfortable area in the foyer has a faint odour of chlorine, so for me, wasn't an area that I wanted to hang around in. Not sure if possible, but might be worth opening one of the function rooms on ground floor or even first floor (with a garden view) as a place to relax? I would have been more tempted to have afternoon tea then (although I know it's served in the Orangery which is a lovely space, we'd already had breakfast in there and potentially dinner, I would have felt a bit confined). It will be on my list to return to in the spring/summer.
