Great location and excellent breakfast

I booked this hotel as a treat for my mother and father. I just spoke to my Dad. He said the hotel was great. Very accessible, nice room, easy check-in, and only a short walk into town. On top of that, he said the breakfast was the BEST hotel breakfast he has ever had. I'll definitely be booking again... but next time it's for ME!

Great apartments/hotel with nice original features

Great friendly service from checking in to checking out, made to feel appreciated for choosing to stay here. The room itself was nice, warm & comfortable with some original features of the building alongside modern details. Breakfast was nice & a good selection from cereals to fully cooked breakfast with yogurts, juices also avaliable. Wouldnt have any hesitation in staying here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was tastefully furnished which reflected its historical past. There was a spacious sitting room for use by guests and a kitchen equipped for the heating and simple cooking of meals. The tasty breakfasts were cooked to order with locally sourced ingredients. There was a small but pleasant garden with suitable seating areas. The staff were always welcoming, helpful and friendly. It was an easy 12 minute walk into the cathedral area and town. We had a very comfortable stay although we would have preferred one of the slightly bigger rooms had one been available. I should like to have revisited with a friend but there are no twin rooms at the property.

Pleasant but pricey

The hotel was rather pleasant, the staff were really friendly and helpful. It has an oldie worldy feel about it and this also is expressed in the decor, if this is the ambiance you are after then this is the place for you. Breakfast was really nice and there was a good variety on offer. They were very accomodating with regards to car parking, we were allowed to leave the car in the car park whilst we went in to the town after checkout. A nice touch. My only down side to this was the price, as nice and pleasa t as it was it in my opinion does not warrant the price tag of £170 for the night we paid.

Liked: Cleanliness

Disappointing

We were not staying in the main hotel building but in a separate cottage. When we arrived the heating had not been switched on & the building was cold & took several hours to warm up requiring us to keep our costs on. The bathroom was very small & cramped. The arm chairs were hard & uncomfortable. There was very little space for our luggage. Considering all this it was very expensive including a surcharge we were not expecting. When we queried this there was no one to provide an explanation.
