A wonderful historic experience

Wonderful stay, great City location, friendly staff, lovely room, very tastefully laid out considering the period of the building. Stay here if you want to enjoy a historic experience. The bed was so comfy and the pillows were like sleeping on clouds. Lots of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits in the room, can't fault the stay, look forward to staying here again.

A really great place. We had the top floor with the brass tub and windows looking right out at the cathedral. Very quirky decor and not at all suitable for those with mobility issues, but one of my all-time fave hotel rooms.

Perfection all in one hotel (5 stars)

The hotel was absolutely amazing, the staff were very welcoming even when they were so busy. The room was very clean & the food was freshly made which I would give 5 stars! We both had a fabulous time celebrating my partners birthday & we agreed to go back on a yearly basis! Staying there for three days felt like home from home.
The room with en-suite was very clean. It had all the amenities within the room.
Very classy & clean.
The welcome booklet explained information about the hotel, the history & checking out detail.
The food was freshly made to perfection, it was delicious.
