Very nice traditional decor, good breakfast selection, great location and good value for money. Few cobwebs and slight issues with the plumbing but this is to be expected of such an old building!
The room was clean and spacious, with an excellent bathroom. Overall property appearance was clean, tidy and very attractive. Breakfast was excellent, really good value for the money. Staff were friendly and most helpful. A lovely stay!
The hotel was everything I wanted it to be except the shower unit. I am 6 foot 4 inches, my head was touching the shower head. Width wise only about 4 inches room to move!
Disappointed that no evening meal was available but not a problem as the hotel is in the middle of the city.
