The hotel was totally unique. Our room was excellent with all the mod cons one would expect to see in a hotel room. The communal areas were very inviting. The breakfast was very good offering a bit of everything. All the staff we had dealings with were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel is situated in a prime position right by the cathedral. The castle, museum, shopping and restaurants and bars are all within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Absolutely amazing hotel. From arrival to departure the experience is exceptional. Such a relaxing time spent over a couple of days. Staff are friendly, professional and efficient without being intrusive. Rooms, food and service impeccable. The courtesy tour in a Bentley is an added bonus. There is a selection of comfortable areas to relax within the hotel community areas as well as a charming little pub worth a visit within the site.
