Being a 3 star does this hotel a disservice. My room was large with a view. The beds (and particularly the bedding) good quality. The bathroom was also cleaned to a high standard. I had the full English for breakfast, which used produce of exceptionally good-quality. The jewel in the crown must be the staff though. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to be helpful. I would not hesitate to visit again or recommend to others.

Good size rooms, very clean and well equipped. Friendly staff and a decent breakfast, although choice is fairly limited. Would definitely stay here again.

Wow what a place! The rooms were clean and inviting. The architecture internally has to be experienced in person!
