Welcoming staff and charming, authentic...
Liked: The staff was so generous and helpful. Breakfast is in a charming room with beautiful bow windows. The service was incredibly thoughtful. Everyone wanted to make me as happy as possible. Just remarkable. My single room was tiny but charming. I even had a view! The historic stairs are very narrow and my room was at the top. Normally this wouldn’t have been a problem, but I’m having some hip trouble, so it was a bit tricky this time. They were very kind about carrying up my luggage!

Interesting.
Liked: Historic building with quirky sloping floors, small rooms and steep, narrow staircases. Staff service top rate. Excellent choice and quality at breakfast. Outdoor roof terrace with cathedral view.
Disliked: Bannisters need safety attention. Windows and blinds need renovation. Sinks in rooms need splashback.

Great location, right next to...
Liked: Located right in the middle of all the action, friendly and helpful staff, lovely cooked breakfast.
Disliked: This is an old property which has been nicely renovated, but the bed belongs in a museum! It must have been designed when the average male in the UK was about 4 foot nothing! Ended up sleeping on the floor. Disappointing because everything else was fine.
