NB: we ended up at Edit just as a major storm warning was issued. The whole town was battered and power was out for 2.5 days. Edit has a backup generator, which powered the restaurant, shared spaces, heating etc. We were well catered for and staff put in extra hours to keep us comfortable. Roads were closed so fresh staff couldnt get in or out. Edit Hanmer went above and beyond during difficult times.

An old fashioned hotel in a great position in the

The hotel is beautifully situated in the middle of the town in large grounds. Furnishings are old fashioned making the rooms feel rather dark. The hotel has a long history with interesting pictures on the walls illustrating its life as a post war hospital. We had a lovely evening meal in the restaurant and the continental breakfast was fine.

Travelling with a newborn had everything we needed. They had received our cot request and acknowledged at check-in, but wasn’t set up in the room, which is only a minor downside to what was overall a good experience. The breakfast is pancakes, pastries, fruit, cereal, juice, drinks and the price reflects the fact there’s no hot breakfast.

Hotel going through a few upgrades which is great to see. The restaurant Isobel for dinner was amazing! Great food. Breakfast wasn’t as varied, only option was continental. Would have like to have more options for TV/movies in the room. However, it a great location and staff were very friendly.

The room was well heated. An extra chair in the room would have been wonderful. When I booked the room the photos on the website showed the room that I had booked had a shower stall. But we ended up with a bath tub with a shower attached to the wall.

I unfortunately did not realize there would be the equivalent of two flights of stairs and a hallway that went for miles to get to our room. Room was good but getting to it was a hassle.

Great location. Some staff were lovely, others just doing their job, didn't really want to be there. No lift, had to lug bags upstairs, no offers of help. Noisy room due to luggage being dragged upstairs. Restaurant and staff fabulous
