Friendly and great Customer Service

This is a lovely thoughtfully styled hotel. The staff are all genuinely friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. Decent water pressure in the shower. Generous supply of tea/coffee in room. Variety of tasty options on the dinner menu. The Full English Breakfast is a must have. Good central location for sightseeing. Would highly recommend and definitely would return.

Fresh, individually cooked breakfast

I do not check rooms like they do on Four in A Bed! Room fine, though an easy chair in there would make it more comfortable.
