Loved the character of inside the building. It is having redecoration done but didnt intrude with stay. The room was enough and had a lovely picturesque view. The room did get very warm during the night but we judt opened the window a little. Breakfast buffet was well organised and really good. The dining room setting was really nice.

Property is under extensive renovations. The staff coped with this amazingly. Biggest issue was no lifts and having to manage the stairs daily even though we were imformed pre visit and offered help with luggage. In the circumstances though we had a great stay . Rooms clean quiet and staff very good . Parking easy and affordable. All in all lots more positive than the inconvenience. Thanks

Nice old style friendly hotel in a great location and full of character.The hotel was undergoing refurbishment while we were there but it had no impact on our stay. Very pleasant room. Breakfast was good but lacked fried eggs. Parking via another company but no issues. Easy check in and out. We will stay there again.
