Two flights of dark stairs and no lift. Good room but no extras. Good continental breakfast with full cooked breakfast paid alternative. Difficult to justify three-star status.

Room was beautifully styled, bed and bedding very comforting. Staff were lovely and the free biscuits at reception and in the room were a lovely bonus! One minor issue: sound carried quite loudly from the corridor to my room (though luckily the hotel was quiet so only happened briefly/ a couple of times)
