Wonderful hotel! Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff, extremely clean rooms and very comfortable indeed. The décor is bold but actually works really well as in contrast with the old building. The rooms are much more serene in tone. We didn't eat in the restaurant, but we had some drinks in the bar which were delicious (although a little pricey!). Breakfast was excellent, huge choice and very fresh - make your own pancakes, and eggs to order were a highlight! We will definitely return!

I was disappointed that I could not get a normal bacon sandwich for breakfast I requested this but it still came in a very heavy brioche bun. This is an abomination which should be made illegal in the uk. Everything else about the hotel is great but this is a glaring oversight in my opinion.
