We stayed at the Gibraltar on a Saturday night to Sunday night. The room was the least expensive room but was spacious and luxurious. I didn't find it an issue to be overlooking the car park - it was quiet and our room had a thick hedge screening the room balcony from the car park and we had no issues with noise from there. We did have issues with noise from a group who congregated in the room next door and who kept us awake when we were trying to sleep, but this was dealt with very promptly by staff. The bed was very comfortable too. Check in was very simple, with staff friendly and helpful. We had booked into the restaurant for dinner on Saturday night and found it to be a very pleasant dining experience. It was quite pricey, but the food was delicious and was well worth it. We went to the bar next door after dinner - we had been hoping to get the jazz musician, who is apparently a regular there on Friday and Saturday nights, but he had called in sick or something, so perhaps next time ... We were surprised that the bar didn't offer hot drinks, but hubby enjoyed a beer. We didn't stay very long, because it was quite cold. Although the bar has an open fireplace, it's angled to face the dance floor area. The bulk of the seating is along one wall when you come in, so you miss out on any kind of warmth from the fire. This is an area of the hotel that could probably do with a re-vamp to make it more comfortable for patrons. The weak spot for this place is breakfast. It's buffet style on the weekends and a la carte on week days. However, what's on offer is the same and the selections are quite limited and not what you'd expect from a luxury hotel. Essentially it's all fried food - bacon, sausages, hash browns and baked beans. Plus a limited selection of pastries and I think I saw weat bix as well, plus some melon type fruit in glasses. There's no real catering for people who don't want a whole lot of fried food and no barista coffee or even hot chocolate. All of what's on offer you can get when you stay in a country pub. I was honestly surprised - I would have expected a lot better and to have more variety, especially considering the prices charged to stay here. I assume the hotel doesn't pay for a chef for breakfast, only for dinner. Next time we come, we won't pay to have breakfast here. Despite the meh breakfast experience it was a lovely stay and we would most definitely come back and stay again.
