We strive for Excellence - every time, for every guest on their every visit.
Christine has summarised what it’s like to stay at The Playford with her online review…
“I love the vibe of this hotel. It’s stylish with an art nouveau design that oozes comfortable luxury, unlike many boring hotels that I find lack personality.
The rooms are lovely, the beds are super comfy, showers are almost too good-I didn`t want to get out! Then there`s the bath- it`s deep and has a waterfall tap, which is absolute bliss to have a relaxing soak in after a stressful day. Another thing I love is their vanity. It`s a decent length, you can happily display all of your various make-up, hair & toiletry items easily. This is incredibly rare and you`re often lucky to have enough room for a toothbrush and have to keep moving toilet bags from the floor..we`ll, not here😁 Plus the bathroom light has a dimmer and one of those reversible make-up magnifier mirrors.
The staff were all lovely and helpful and the Manager was great to talk to. Even the cleaning staff happily greeted me whenever I saw them.
Make sure you try a complimentary chocolate orange shot while you`re there. You help yourself and it`s just the Reception desk. It`s so rich & delicious and again, another lovely extra touch.
The cocktails from the bat were also great and although I didn`t get the chance to dine in their restaurant-Luma, it has a great local reputation for breakfast as well as lunch/dinner.
I loved everything about this hotel.😁”
