Had a fantastic stay with my family including children 8 and 10. The staff are all lovely and the breakfast was excellent. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.
I had a very nice stay here. Great location and excellent staff. The rooms are nice. I have stayed at their other hotels in Manchester and Edinburgh, and they were very nice as well
Lovely room, helpful staff and great location. If you’re staying only a few nights, they don’t clean the room however I sent a WhatsApp asking for fresh towels and a restock of the tea and coffee and they delivered within 5 mins.
We loved our stay at Ember Locke - another great property from Locke. The staff were great, design fabulous and breakfast yummy! We appreciated the loan of an umbrella too!
John greeted us on our arrival, very warm and welcoming. Hotel was a perfect location for us driving in and parking was easy to find. The hotel was beautiful curated and lots of space to just sit for a moment. Our room was clean tidy and the kitchenette was perfect with a baby. Will absolutely stay again and recommend to everyone!

Nice decor, but the beds were firm and not to our liking. Great staff and good location.
Beautiful hotel in a great location. My room was a comfortable size and very clean. Would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends in the future.
