Fantastic stay all round. Room was lovely, so touched with the little extras for our baby (tipi and toys in room and cot all setup). Food at the hotel restaurant was really good, and spa was amazing.

Great stay. Great staff, great restaurant and bar. The room we had was tiny - absolutely no place to put anything, let alone luggage. And we would've liked to USE the desk, not have it covered with a turntable we didn't care to utilize.

Outstanding little hotel, we booked it on a whim and we were not disappointed. Attention to detail was amazing. Perfectly positioned to allow a beautiful walk to the shambles etc. only grumble would be you could hear the usic inside the restaurant from our room which wasnt an issue for me as i can sleep through anything but, it did keep my hisband up.
