Unique & old worldly.

− We were unable to use the dining facilities as they were fully booked out……but unusual circumstances.

8.0

The staff were fantastic, and we enjoyed everything. The service was welcoming, and the great complimentary continental breakfast by the fire was excellent.

− The showers were not that great with the pressure, but that is the only negative

Very comfortable, historic and central

9.0

The room was very large and comfortable with everything we needed. The location was ideal as it was central to restaurants cafes and museum and gallery which we enjoyed very much

− There was an unusual odour in the room when we arrived. My husband thought it may have been a furniture polish. We did put the fan on high and opened the windows and it was much improved after we returned after a meal. The staff were so busy we didn't like to mention it but think it would be a good idea for them to follow up
