The Ednam is an old hotel and electrics and waterworks are far from up to date. We got moved after shower/bath didn’t work. Bigger room was lovely view but bath water wouldn’t go away until later on. Breakfast was nice. Great location but don’t expect too much.

We were able to park up at 11am so we could go to the races very helpful with directions etc. Lovely hotel with beautiful gardens that we could see from our first floor windows. No lifts which now as we are getting older need to start checking out before booking. No the hotels fault but just a fact of life. Excellent breakfast.
