Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was adequate, for an executive room it was dated, shabby and in the old part of the priory which was uneven. The restaurant was pleasant and food was extremely tasty. For the price it was a shame breakfast was not included but the offering was really good The staff were amazing, really helpful, polite and could not do enaough for any guests. I would possibly stay here again.
