Eine typisch englische Atmosphäre
Pros:

Sehr stilvoll, die Gastgeberin hat einen exzellenten Geschmack, ruhig

Cons:

Das Zimmer und das Bad ist sehr klein. Für eine Nacht kein Problem aber bei einem längeren Aufenthalt zu beengend

Overall still loved our whole stay!
Pros:

The room, the location, the beautiful view and the building itself it looked very well put together.

Cons:

Honestly, I would have given this a 10/10 if not for the fact that the people next to our room were so loud and it was around midnight and they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. Some of us want to have a relaxing time at a nice hotel.
It is a 12th century building so you would expect the walls are not sound proof plus with the wooden floors.. I hope there is some kind of gentle reminder for guests to be mindful of noise.
