    Right on the cathedral grounds. We could see the cathedral from our room and hear the bells!

    The location is fabulous and perfectly convenient for the city centre and exploring the cathedral grounds whenever you want. The staff is fantastic, the gardens, tea room, and breakfast room are stylish, comfortable, bright, and clean.

    Comfy room with view of cathedral. Decent size with two comfy chairs and a table in the bay window. Quiet at night since windows towards cathedral grounds which are closed at night. Nice to be able to wander around the cathedral grounds...
