Lygon Arms is a beautiful place
Pros:

The Lygon Arms is a beautiful place. We were treated great from the moment we walked through the door and they were beyond expectations. Our bags were taken to our room and they even parked our car and was just the first 10mins. All staff were polite, welcoming and helpful and Ollie who served us and a large group of guests was exceptional. I would visit here again without question.

Cons:

The room we had didn't have air-conditioning but we were asked if we minded before our visit and it wasn't an issue and we opened the windows. If you want Aircon, then ask for a room with it in.

Stunning building in perfect location. Standards just below expectation
Pros:

Our room was on the top floor with no.lift. The decor was past its prime. Some rooms appeared to have nice antique furniture .Our bathroom was good but the bedroom had very poor quality furniture a dark worn looking carpet and was generally very unappealing.
The overall effect was poor. However when I brought this up with hotel staff they handled it very well. Breakfast was just about ok but not good.
However the building and the use of the beautiful ground floor would bring me back.

Very comfortable environment with nice restaurant, bar and room
Pros:

courteous and helpful staff even before arrival. I requested distilled water for use with my CPAP device and it was provided. Distilled water is not easy to find in England.

Historic hotel in a central location. Could be a great hotel with a few improvements.
Pros:

Hotel has lots of character, is in a great location and has friendly, helpful staff.

Cons:

Room cleaning wasn’t up to standard (mildew in bathroom), there was a permanent noise/din coming from the courtyard outside the room. Design of room could be improved eg. No hanging hooks in bathroom, not enough surfaces in room.
Arrival with a car is a painful experience (as parking is very far from reception)
