Lovely- room was big and good view- the bathroom was tight for space though although comfortable. Considering we upgraded to a deluxe king size I did expect to have gowns and slippers but otherwise good.

Beautiful hotel perfect location & wonderful stay
Probably the nicest hotel I’ve stayed in in the uk. Location was perfect 30 secs walk from train station and 10 min walk straight into city centre. We had the best views from our room straight out over the garden and city and the catherdral. Room was huge and comfortable. The whole hotel was glorious and staff were welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was yummy I would definitely come back here again .
