The Townhouse Secret Garden

We had a Groupon coupon for two,two course meals with a glass of wine. The food was excellent. Well presented and cooked to the highest standard. The waitress was very attentive and offered us an alternative to the glass off wine each so I had a pint and my wife had a soft drink. All this for under £35. What a bargain in todays price climate. The only cons to this experience was the lack of parking which meant a long walk and expensive car park. To access the hotel you have to go up stairs and I didn't notice a wheelchair access.

The restaurant is lovely, quirky decor and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and the food was exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed our night here. Extensive range of cocktails, and you can taste the alcohol in them. (I've been to a few places where it just tastes like really sweet juice) Only downside... the place was difficult to find, and resulted in us wandering around for 10 minutes and finding someone for directions, so 'O**fellows' is where you want to go, I get its 'The Secret Garden' but maybe a clue would have been handy. Good location otherwise in city centre. We didn't stay over so can't really comment on the rooms (have given 5 stars anyway)

Fantastic place and such pretty surroundings. The garden, outside seating is beautiful. I booked a table and planned a marriage proposal. The staff communicated through email to arrange what I needed before hand and it all went to plan. Thank you to the young lad who I asked to bring the ring to table along with some champagne and our favourite drink, baby Guinness's. All the staff were fantastic and applauded after I'd asked the question, she said yes. Amazing night, amazing place and even better staff. Well done guys, keep up the hard work and we plan to be back for another trip soon. Maybe even a wedding booking.

The night porter is fantastic, the most helpful and friendly member of staff. Thank you, we much appreciate you for our stay. Our room was too hot with no way of cooling it down despite reception help, sheets and floors were not particularly clean, toilet and shower position not great especially with no ventilation. Only reason I would stay again is if the night porter were here , best customer service, went above and beyond to help each time we asked in the night time. Incredibly responsive. Thank you night porter,made our stay. Also cleaning maids in the morning were great, very kind and helpuf, thank you both.

Very nice setting and atmosphere. Staff very attentive. Afternoon tea wasn't the best we've had, the sandwiches were very small with little filling. 2 out of the 4 were vegetarian (cheese/egg) which are pretty basic considering the price. The cakes were okay, nothing extraordinary. The scones however were amazing. When we asked for herbal tea they didn't have two flavours in which is strange considering they primarily sell afternoon tea
