Luxury Roseberry Apartments: UK's Best Kept Secret?
Luxury Roseberry Apartments: UK's Best Kept Secret? – Or Just Plain Secret? A Truthful Review
Okay, so "UK's Best Kept Secret?" That's a bold claim, right? I'm here to tell you, after a recent stay at Luxury Roseberry Apartments, whether that's actually true, or just some clever marketing. Spoiler alert: It's complicated. Buckle up, because this isn't going to be your average, sterile travel blog post.
First off, I'm not going to lie, I'm a sucker for a good "luxury" hotel. I mean, who isn't? But I also have a healthy dose of skepticism. So, let's dive in, shall we? We'll start with the basics, then get to the good stuff.
Accessibility: (Important for some, not for others, but still crucial!)
Okay, for those of you who need it, the listing does say they have facilities for disabled guests and an elevator. That's a good start. I didn't personally test this – (thankfully, I can still walk! – though most days it feels like a Herculean effort) – but it's good to know. Check-in/out [express] and [private] options are a nice touch, potentially reducing any accessibility-related stress.
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Sadly, I don't have specific information on this. I would recommend checking directly with the hotel.
Internet, Internet, Internet (and More!)
Okay, let's talk internet. Because in this day and age, it’s practically oxygen. They claim Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and also Internet access [LAN]. And Internet services are mentioned. Now, I’m not a tech wizard, but this sounds promising. The reality? Surprisingly good. The Wi-Fi in my room was rock solid. I even managed to stream a whole season of The Great British Baking Show without buffering. (Priorities, people!) Wi-Fi in public areas were also well-covered, which meant I could shamelessly scroll through Instagram during breakfast.
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitized? Or Sanitized? A Questionable Approach to a Big "Yes"
Alright, let's be brutally honest. This is the post-pandemic world. Everyone’s thinking about cleanliness. Luxury Roseberry claims to be all over this. They boast Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer readily available, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Professional-grade sanitizing services. They even have Staff trained in safety protocol and say Sterilizing equipment is used.
Now, I did feel the place was clean. But let's get real folks, I am not a germ-detector, and do not trust marketing. Overall, I don't think they went above and beyond. It's hard to really know. The claim Room sanitization opt-out available felt a bit… meh. Like, are you really that sure of your cleaning? Still, they do have Safe dining setup and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. Cashless payment service, Contactless check-in/out are both great moves.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Asian Breakfast to… Well, More Asian, Apparently
Okay, food. This is where things get… interesting. They have a LOT of options listed. Restaurants, Bar, Coffee shop, Poolside bar, Snack bar. They offer Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, and even Breakfast takeaway service. The big thing, though? Asian breakfast and Asian cuisine in restaurant are highlighted and, let me tell you, it really feels like Asian cuisine is their thing.
This isn't a bad thing, necessarily, but if you're expecting a diverse culinary landscape, you might be disappointed. I’m not going to lie, Coffee/tea in restaurant was fine. The Buffet in restaurant – well, it was a buffet. You know how it goes. Desserts in restaurant were… let's just say nothing to write home about, but nothing offensively bad either. The Soup in restaurant was… surprisingly good, actually.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: The Spa and the Questionable Pool with a view
Okay, this is where the "luxury" part should kick in. And, to some extent, it does. They have the whole shebang: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, and Swimming pool [outdoor].
The Pool with view, which I was really excited about? Well, let's say the view was… okay. It certainly wasn’t the infinity pool overlooking the Amalfi Coast that the marketing material suggested. More like a well-maintained pool overlooking… another building. But the Sauna? That was a delight! So wonderfully hot that I practically melted into a steaming puddle of bliss.
But the true highlight? The spa! I got a massage. (This is where things get messy, and real.)
The spa? Sublime. From the moment I was enveloped in fluffy, luxurious Bathrobes and Slippers everything, it was heaven. The massage itself?! Pure, unadulterated bliss. Yes, that massage was so good that I just wanted to live in that moment forever.
Services and Conveniences: The Good, The Bad, and the Elevator
Okay, let’s blitz through the practicalities. They offer a ton of stuff: Air conditioning in public area (thank god), a Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Food delivery, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, and the list goes on.
The "secret" sauce?:
Honestly, what really elevated Luxury Roseberry – and it was elevated – was the Staff! They were amazing. From the friendly receptionists to the diligent housekeeping staff, every single person was super-friendly and helpful, which really made my stay that much better.
The Downsides. The Imperfections and the Honest Truth:
- The "View": As mentioned above. Expectations need to be readjusted.
- The Price: Luxury ain’t cheap.
- "Best Kept Secret": That phrase feels a little overblown. It's a good hotel, but not a hidden gem in the sense that it's some unknown, magical place. It's just… a good hotel.
For the Kids: A Nod, Not a Rave
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids facilities are listed, but beyond that, there isn't much detail, so families should check for specific options.
Rooms: The Heart of the Matter
You want to know about the rooms, right? Here's where the rubber meets the road. I was in a Non-smoking room (yay!). The room was spacious, with Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, a comfy Desk, Free bottled water, and a Hair dryer.
- The Bed was comfortable.
- The Soundproofing was decent.
- My Wi-Fi connections were great..
Now for the quirky part of my review.
- The Mini-bar: My biggest shock? The mini-bar. It was stocked, I mean seriously stocked. (and priced accordingly.) This made me happy.
- The View: Not the pool's view. My room's view? It was pretty unremarkable.
Getting Around: The Usual Suspects.
Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge]. The hotel also offers a Taxi service and Valet parking. Easy peasy!
The Verdict: Is Luxury Roseberry Worth It?
So, is it the "Best Kept Secret?" Nah. Is it a great hotel with some seriously luxurious touches? Absolutely. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-equipped hotel with a fantastic spa, good wifi, and genuinely friendly staff – and budget is a factor – then I 100% recommend Luxury Roseberry. Just don't go expecting to discover some hidden paradise. It's just… a really good choice.

Roseberry Apartments, UK – The "I Survived This Trip and All I Got Was This Itinerary" Edition
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (and Pizza)
- 14:00: Arrive at Roseberry Apartments. The website photos? Lies, all lies. It's…cozy. Think "charmingly compact" if you're feeling generous, "utterly tiny" if, like me, you've lugged a suitcase the size of a small car. The key situation is always a gamble, so I’d have to deal with picking it.
- 14:15: Breathe. Deeply. Okay, it’s not a disaster. Just…small. Reminds me of my ex's apartment. Too many memories already, Ugh, what was I thinking?
- 14:30: Unpack. The sheer volume of my belongings is a problem. Did I really need six pairs of hiking boots? Apparently, yes.
- 15:00: Attempt to make tea. (English, duh). The kettle is ancient, and the water tastes faintly of…something. Metallic? Regret. Already.
- 16:00: Pizza emergency. Found a local place, "Roseberry's Rustic Eats." The owner, a woman with a voice like gravel and eyes that could see into your soul, told me the pizza was "proper." It was. Bloody brilliant. Ate an entire personal pie. No regrets.
- 17:00 – 21:00: Unintentional nap. Jet lag, or just the sheer crushing weight of reality? Probably a bit of both. Wake up disoriented, with pizza-related dreams, and the distinct feeling of having wasted a big chunk of a precious holiday.
- 21:00: Question my life choices. Again. Seriously, why did I book a place called "Roseberry"? Sounds like a Disney princess, and this clearly isn’t a fairy tale.
Day 2: Roseberry's Hidden Treasures (and a Near-Disaster)
- 08:00: Wake up. Surprisingly, not regretting my life choices too much. The sun is peeking through the curtains (a huge bonus, these things are tiny).
- 08:30: Breakfast. Toast. Marmalade. (It's the law.) Okay, maybe this place isn't so bad.
- 09:00: Stumble upon a little park near the Roseberry Apartments. It's not in any guidebooks, just a hidden gem. The sun is hitting just right, that early morning glow. People actually live here!
- 09:30 - 12:00: Wandering around the town, soaking in the beauty. Seriously, a moment of pure peacefulness… until I realize I've lost my phone. PANIC MODE ACTIVATED.
- 12:30: Phone recovered at… the pizza place. The gravel-voiced woman saw it fall out of my pocket. Saved by the pizza queen!
- 13:00: Lunch: More pizza, obviously. Celebratory pizza. This time, two personal pies.
- 14:00: Walking/hiking. The town is pretty, and the trails? Oh, they're stunning. All this fresh air is making me feel actually awake.
- 18:00: Cook dinner. This is my first time cooking after a long time. I'm terrible and the smoke sets off the smoke alarm. Great.
- 19:00: Attempt to watch TV. The remote is from the Stone Age, and Channel surfing is a full-time job.
- 20:00: Deeply considering buying a whole cake, because, why not? This trip is already a disaster, what could go wrong?
Day 3: The Big Adventure, and The Great British Letdown
- 07:00: Wake up. Bright and early for the big day out! I’m actually feeling quite excited.
- 08:00: Travel to the "Big" place everyone’s been talking about (I won't spoil it, though). It's been hyped, and I had high hopes.
- 09:00: The "Big" place. Oh. My. God. It was awful. Just…underwhelming. The promised grandeur was replaced by tourists, overpriced souvenirs and a general sense of "is this it?"
- 10:00: I'm trying to be positive but the truth is: I'm miserable. I'm hungry. I'm tired. I want to go home. Regret the "Big" place. I wander off, completely lost, for an hour.
- 10:00-13:00: So, I walked. And walked. And got lost. The place's atmosphere is okay. It's not the best, nor the worst. I find a pretty street and take pictures.
- 13:00: I'm eating a disappointing sandwich from a shop. And I sit on a bench, and try to imagine a better life.
- 15:00: Start heading back to Roseberry Apartments earlier than planned. I'm absolutely drained. I did not make the most of my trip.
- 16:00 – 20:00: Sleep. Massive, restorative sleep.
- 20:00: More pizza. Because, duh.
Day 4: Farewell, Roseberry (Mostly) with a Smile
- 09:00: Packing up. Everything is chaos, as usual.
- 10:00: One last walk around town. A quick stop at the park. I make a mental note to send a thank-you card to the gravel-voiced pizza queen. She's a legend.
- 11:00: Say goodbye. This apartment? It's been a unique experience.
- 12:00: Heading home. The trip was… messy. The "Big" place was a letdown. But there were moments - the pizza, the quiet morning walks, the hidden park. And hey, I survived. Maybe that's all that matters.
- 13:00 – onwards: A long, complicated journey back home to… well, wherever home is right now. Already daydreaming about the next adventure. Or, at least, a decent pizza.
Final Thoughts:
This trip was a bit of a rollercoaster, full of highs, lows, and way too much pizza. Did things go according to plan? Absolutely not. Would I change a thing? Maybe. Well, maybe the trip to the "Big" place. But the rest? It's got character. And, let's be honest, that's what makes life, and travel, interesting. And that's exactly how I’m going to live with it.
