Do not stay in room 10
The hotel was very pleasant with interesting decor. The room was clean and an adequate size for a single room. The bed was large and comfortable. There was coffee/tea in the room with a cup and kettle, and an iron and ironing board. There is a wonderful outdoor area, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. All perfectly good. However, at 6:45am the kitchen extraction unit was switched on. Unfortunately it appeared to be attached to the bed and sounded like an aeroplane taking off. My lie in and leisurely morning ruined by this noise that persisted until I checked out. The breakfast was very good, and the staff were pleasant and attentive. Upon checking out I mentioned the unceasing noise that had ruined my intended lazy start to the day. The dismissive response was ‘Oh yeah, sorry about that’. In conclusion, a potentially great stay was spoiled and I can’t say it was worth the price. If I had stayed in a different room my experience would probably have also been different.

Absolutely loved it here! What a fantastic location, so close to everything! Lovely welcome to the hotel. Bags were taken to our room whilst we were out and about. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Our room was lovely with all the charm of an old hotel, creaky floor boards and all! Obviously because of the age of the building the room and bathroom has a few quirks..the shower is a little tight and there aren't many plug sockets but nothing that spoils the stay at all. The bed was very comfy and everything was very clean. It was a very cosy and charming room with a view over the city wall and the Secret Garden. Oh my the Secret Garden..what a lovely little place to have a drink to start our evening. Fairy lights and heaters make it almost magical out there of an evening. The cabin looked fab too ready for Christmas. We travelled to this hotel for a mum and daughter trip for my daughters 18th birthday and I would like to thank the hotel for making it a very memorable trip. I will definitely be returning!
