great locationexcellent breakfast selectionhelpful staffcomfortable bed
The location is AMAZING and very walkable to the city center. The breakfast selection was excellent and offered many choices. The staff was very friendly and helpful upon arrival, giving me a map. The bed was especially comfortable for sleeping.
The car park filled up quickly. I had to park on the street. This was slightly inconvenient.

The on site parking was nice. I found a comfortable lounge where I could relax. The breakfast was great with lots of choice. The staff were attentive to our needs.
The room looked dated and not like the pictures online. Curtains were falling off their rails. The kettle was dirty, and some windows had some mould. The bathroom accessories needed attention and maintenance.

lovely decorbeautiful gardensfestive barreasonable drinks
i found 'the darwin suite' lovely! the decor was so tasteful. although i didn't use them, the gardens looked lovely. the bar area felt festive with christmas decorations and a fire. the drinks prices seemed reasonable too!
a mini fridge in the room would have been appreciated, and the phones could use an update. these are minor things, though!

This hotel offers large rooms. Each room includes comfortable furnishings. The staff were friendly and provided helpful service. I found the location ideal with a short walk to attractions.
The parking required a fee of £10 per night. This charge felt a bit high considering the room price. The on-site parking was convenient though.
