    Upgraded to a Junior Suite, the Dovecote, which was very spacious and clean. Staff very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was very good. Excellent value for money.

    There is so much to see in the hotel itself. A fantastic building with architectural oddities all over the place. Staff were tremendous and the rooms were very well presented with a nice mix of traditional and modern decor. I'd imagine the garden...

    Easy parking and quiet location. Evening meal - the food was absolutely stunning, one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Talented chef / kitchen staff for sure. Such a refreshing change to my weekly hotel stays. Nice restaurant area...
