A lovely modernized medieval building. Wonderfully helpful staff, great room facing the Beany museum. On the first floor is a lounge very reminiscent of a Tudorish sitting room, beamed ceilings and all.

Very misleading

I was under the impression this was an Enviable double room as per your images. But judging from the photos this is nothing like an enviable double room. I’ve even taken a recording to show how much smaller it is
