Disappointing due to the uncomfortably hot room, despite the otherwise excellent service.
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast. The room was clean.

Cons:

We were on the top floor with no air conditioning. It was 27.5 degrees in the room. Literally could not sleep.

Lovely hotel in a great location.
Pros:

The location was ideal. The building is a lovely old building with lots of character. The staff were lovely. The room was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We had dinner and breakfast, which was really good.

Cons:

The only downside was that we stayed during the heatwave, and the room was really warm. Opening the windows allowed air in but also noise from the main street.
