Lovely comfy bed and pillows!

A lovely place to stay and would highly recommend. Historic building, friendly helpful staff and great food. Housekeeping is excellent too. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. I stayed in Room 5 and my only complaint was it was a bit chilly at night, I had to sleep with a cardigan on! Also, if you are tall and/or elderly you might find sitting on the toilet challenging with it being so close to the shower door! There is no heating in the bathroom so might be chilly in the winter time. Single glazing due to it being a listed building. If you book meals ahead make sure you get a confirmation. I booked an evening meal for a Monday with friends, only to find on arrival, that there is no chef on Monday nights. This meant me changing plans at very short notice which caused disappointment.

Expectations comfortably exceeded - thank you!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here this weekend. We booked to stay in the Superior Double Room (also called the Junior Suite) and the hotel very kindly upgraded us to the Honeymoon Double Room (the Master Suite). This is a lovely spacious and tastefully decorated room with an excellent en-suite and a super comfortable bed. It is above the main public bar of the hotel but, unless you want to go to bed really early, this is not a problem, even on a busy Saturday, as it closes at 11pm and not much of the noise makes it up through the floor anyway. We certainly did not hear anything after that and enjoyed a perfect night's sleep. Breakfast is menu style rather than buffet and was delicious. All in all the hotel definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you.

Lovely place to stay - friendly and welcoming staff. We loved our spacious room which was clean and comfortable, and the history of the building. Tasty breakfast and we enjoyed some drinks in JJ’s bar. We will stay again!

Beautiful building

The outside pictures don't do it justice. The building is super old, and has been very well adapted to having the rooms. The bed was really comfy, the shower was great, but it could have done with a better desk area. :-)
