Overall, it is a great stay. Downside is that they charge £15 for breakfast per person if you book through Expedia, which is not clear and the breakfast is not worth it; I had avocado and egg, it was a sour paste avocado not fresh.

Lovely place
Staff were great, very friendly and seemed like nothing is too much trouble. Rooms, bar and restaurant areas all furnished. decorated to high standard. Only downside is cleaning wasn't done to high standard (dirty bathroom floor), lots of dust on fittings etc and some general maintenance required to windows, blinds etc. But overall a lovely place to stay. Love their attitude to dogs too, if we stay again we would take our dog knowing it would be made very welcome !

Gem of a historic hotel
Amazing hotel. The suite we stayed in was fabulous. The bathroom was spotless with a great shower. Eating in the hotel restaurant was a pleasure, the chef's creations were so tasty. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely come back.
