“Precious memories”

We booked a couple of nights at this hotel to meet up with our son wife and 2 year old grandson. We weren’t sure we’d even make it because my wife was recovering from 3 nights in hospital after an allergic reaction to some medication. But we’re delighted we didn’t cancel as we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is well placed a short stroll from the Cathedral and town centre and exudes old world charm. The room was modern and comfortable and above all else it was spotlessly clean. That cleanliness was apparent throughout the hotel and that has to be down to the hard work of the staff. They were exceptionally helpful and friendly and this was much appreciated after a long journey and when I lost my room key. The breakfast was excellent and the bar area was a very pleasant place to welcome our family after they had joined us. All in all a really memorable break with lasting happy memories! Special thanks to Maria at the bar and dining room and Eliza in reception!

“Good, but should be better”

This is a well located hotel, only a short stroll to the shops and restaurants. Was grateful for the free car parking, only a 3-4 minute walk away, although the spaces were very tight to manoeuvre into. Check in was fast and efficient, with friendly staff.

This is a well located hotel, only a short stroll to the shops and restaurants. Was grateful for the free car parking, only a 3-4 minute walk away, although the spaces were very tight to manoeuvre into. Check in was fast and efficient, with friendly staff. Didn't use the bar or restaurant. The room was very nice, and the beds extremely comfortable. However, there were a few things that were in need of fixing; shower head didn't stay in position, water was very slow to drain from the sink and a bit smelly, and a bedside reading light didn't work. So overall, good, but could be, and should be better.

“Recommend for a comfortable stay!”

Was greeted by very nice reception staff. The room was nice although a bit on the dark side. The bed was very comfortable with a comfy duvet and pillows (I’m very fussy so was pleased) and I had a good night’s sleep.

Was greeted by very nice reception staff. The room was nice although a bit on the dark side. The bed was very comfortable with a comfy duvet and pillows (I’m very fussy so was pleased) and I had a good night’s sleep. I dined at Per Tutti, an amazing Italian restaurant (booking recommended as they were so busy they had to turn people away) opposite the hotel. My intention was to have bar food at the hotel but the bar didn’t look as nice as the photos and was tiny with uncomfortable seating. That and the small restaurant (for breakfast only) really lets this place down. I was glad I didn’t book for breakfast. There were plenty of lovely places to eat and lots of great shops, a lovely market and was just generally a really lovely town to visit. I would stay here again but would eat out.
