The room is smaller than what we expected based on the photos. Some of the rooms including mine was is dated. The door at mine swung closed because the hinge wasn’t working well.

Absolutely beautiful hotel in a great location, 5 minute walk from the city. Inside the hotel is amazing and quite grand. We choose a garden view room which was a bit small but the view was amazing, all the way to the minster. Breakfast can get a bit busy as the area is small but it was nice.
The spa was lovely but again small and can get busy.
Overall a beautiful hotel in an ideal location.
