A lovely hotel in a beautiful Georgian Town. The hotel was convenient for our travels & so glad we came! The highlight was breakfast & dinner. Staff were professional & friendly - &the bar/head waiter at dinner was absolutely fabulous 👏👏👏👏👏 ##### Soraya J Stayed 1 night in May 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### heather 13 Sept 2025 Disliked: Room comfort there was a leak whilst we were there. this set off the fire alarms at 5am which interrupted a nights sleep and there was no water for showers in the morning. despite all this there was no offer of a refund which would have been appropriate. ##### heather Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### I 29 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Outstanding food Friendly and efficient staff, nice ambience and one of the best hotel meals I have ever experienced (and I have experienced hundreds). The terrine and then hake to follow were exceptional and my wife had a steak which she described as 'best ever'.

Bathroom a bit cold. We stayed at the front of the hotel and there was a bit of on-street noise but it didn't go on too late. We ate in the bar in the evening and the food was very good. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Alexander 1 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice boutique hotel Lovely hotel and room.
