“This hotel strikes me as a place that genuinely tries to blend historical character with modern hospitality, if the devil is in the details then it's clear where attention has been placed. I appreciate that its Italian restaurant, Luigi's al Fresco, is more than just an amenity, and the location allows immediate access to the town's attractions and is only a short walk to the shops and restaurants. It seems well-suited to those wanting something more personal than a chain hotel.”

The hotel's location was convenient for exploring the high street shops.
The most expensive room I booked was directly above the kitchens. A constant jet engine-like noise and vibration continued for hours. This completely ruined my night I complained, and was told it bothers some guests. It was not worth the price.

I found VERY friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were beautiful, lovely and clean, WITH a mini bar. I especially enjoyed the Disaronno liquor and the AMAZING little Italian restaurant. Parking was also available, super convenient.
The room overlooked the main road, so it was noisy when the window was open. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

I appreciated the hotel's perfect location near the town centre. The car park was helpful, and the electric car charging points were a bonus. My double room was very nice and clean and had ample tea and coffee. I also found water and toiletries available, including an air conditioning unit, useful, as the room became warm.
I noted that the room could benefit from additional plugs or USB ports. The emergency light was bright, noticeable when the room was dark.
