We ate here recently with friends and the food was superb and not expensive considering the quality. It was the best meal we've had anywhere for a long time and it's not as if we don't go out much! The service was very good too. We weren't staying in the hotel but our friends said the room was good with a lovely view and reasably priced.

Attended a destination wedding here and honestly the whole experience from start to finish was so beautiful and lovely! The service, the rooms, the hospitality - the incredible food! Truly a magical time was had here at the Morritt Hotel and I could not recommend it enough.

From and accomodation persepctive this was a horrible experience. Our room wasn’t in the main hotel and while it was clean anything good ended there. It was dated and very shabby with cheap materials and heating that could not be turned down or off (see photo of no radiator valve) Security was poor, we could not lock the downstairs outside door to our room so anyone could have accessed the landing where the door to our room was. To make it worse there was no "spy hole" in the room door that we could have used to determine if someone was there who they were. The carpet on the stair up to our room was filthy and the area smelled of horse manure which occasionally wafted into our room. I hve a video of this but Google does let you upload video. We had two fire alarms in the middle of the first night and the staff appeared confused and unclear about what they and guests should be doing and were more interested in mopping floors and defending the hotels poor procedures than communicating clearly with guests. For neither alarm did anyone come out to direct people to an evacuation point or proactively communicate what guests should do. This was compounded by the telephones in more than our room not working and no one answering the phone at reception when called from a mobile. When I went to the front door of the hotel it was locked and when someone eventually answered it we were told that they were unaware that the alarms were going off in the block we were in. This messaged changed depending on who we spoke to. I have no idea who did or didn’t know what was going on, but no one proactively came to engage with us despite at least 4 staff being present. As we had family in the main building I checked in the morning and the alarm had not gone off in the main block at all despite this being where the sensor had been triggered. For balance, the wedding we attended went without incident and during the day the staff were very attentive, helpful and organised. So from my experience, you would be OK to book your wedding here, just dont stay overnight.
