Stay here, it’s fabulously fantastic.
An absolutely stunning hotel, such a brilliant conversion (it’s so clearly still the prison that it originally was, in a really very good way!), beautifully fitted out (what a great bath) and with such great and friendly service. Definitely in my Top 10 of all hotels I’ve stayed in (and I do stay at rather a lot), I will be back - hopefully with my wife some time (this was a business trip). If you can, stay here, you won’t regret it.

Perfect …almost
Unique and very nice building. High end look and feel. Shame about the dining experience. Any regular restaurant it would have been great. For a high end spot, it just wasn’t quite there. The servers seemed to care yet they knew nothing of the food or drink choices. Breakfast was good. The building missed the mark in having information about the hotel’s construction and even signage.

Great experience but watch for stealth charges
Unique experience staying in a jail. Room was great and comfortable. Food was good, not great and expensive. Was a fine dining menu but only side was greens and chips, which didn’t really go with the menu. Potato option would have been better. Made to go through champagne bar and felt needed to order drinks before being allowed to go through to the restaurant. I’m guessing in an attempt to try and upsell drinks. Although to do this would need actually offer a menu! At check out tried to put an optional reception and house keeping service charge to bill with no previous mention of this. Felt very awkward when we didn’t want to pay…£200 a night room should cover any service charges!!!

A loud machine (generator?) ran outside our room for 1/2 hour early on Saturday morning which gave us an unwelcome and unwanted alarm call. While the hotel facilities and rooms were very good the food was not up to the same standard. Breakfast in particular was poor with cheap sliced bread and orange squash rather than fresh orange juice served. Not acceptable in any hotel never mind one in this price bracket.

This hotel is amazing!!! We have stayed in many five star hotels and this should be a five star hotel!!! It is extremely clean. The rooms are excellent, very good bathrooms. All furnished to a high standard. Would definitely recommend to friends and would definitely stay again. The history to this place is an added extra and the tours are a must

A lovely stay but disappointed that they had no lager in the bar or slimline tonic?! My partner only drinks lager and would think a place like this would be fully stocked?!

The building itself was lovely, a very unique property with high end finishing touches. But the service let it down. 45 minute wait for 2 cocktails, over an hour wait for 3 main course with a young child who was too tired to eat by the time dinner arrived. Staff seemed very stressed and overrun even though the bar and restuarant were not even half full. Very disorganised which was a real shame as it definitely took away from the uniqueness of the hotel.

We stayed one night in a family room, the rooms were very tastefully designed and accommodated the 3 of us comfortably. The entire hotel is immaculate and has been transformed from former prison to hotel perfectly. We dined at The Chapel restaurant for both dinner and breakfast and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Will return again, everything was perfect!
Everything was perfect! The staff, the hotel, the decor, the amenities, the food. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and they did two swan’s with rose petals surrounding them. Minibar was stocked, yummy shortbread to try out. We went to the chapel for breakfast, which was delicious, and had a drink at the champagne lounge the evening before. All staff were cordial. Take the tour for a glimpse of the past, its fascinating!
