Stayed in one of the self catering 2 bed cottages/units with friends on Saturday. Found the hotel very easily. The whole place was very nicely done out, and the unit very well kitted. The staff very friendly. Parked right outside the door of our unit! Couldn't be more convenient. Had a view of the cathedral from our lounge! Hotel lounge... More

Ours was a late booking, and we stayed in the only available room, which was the ground floor of the mews building. The location is great, and I agree with most reviewers that the staff are most helpful and welcoming. However, the standard of the room did not really live up to expectations. The huge bed and 42" flat screen... More

However,the rooms were very disappointing for the room rate we paid. The curtains were very thin and falling off the rail! The bed was comfy although the bedding wasn't very suitable.

We stayed for one night at this lovely hotel. The staff couldn't have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful. The hotel was ideally placed. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast in the adjoining tearoom with a good choice of cold and cooked food. The lounge looked comfortable but we did not use this area. We would definitely stay again.
