I had a lovely time at Spicers Balfour reduced only slightly by the stress of getting in and out of the car park.
Pros:

The location was lovely, food was exceptional and room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The car park was extremely pokey and I expected more from a five star property. There was also quite a bit of noise heard in the room from the restaurant in the early mornings and late at night.

Great location close to the action but far enough away to also have a peaceful relaxing time too.
Pros:

We loved everything about our stay the location, the breakfast, the Bath and especially the Sun Room in our Suite, took us back to a bygone era. Very Special!

Cons:

I didn't like leaving!

Love place to stay except for the above
Pros:

I love the location and decor

Cons:

My last stay I had a very small room alongside an abandoned swimming pool that was totally green and putrid in the neighbouring property. Our windows didn’t have fly screens so I had to keep the windows closed the whole time. Not the most pleasant view out the window.

Pros:

The terraced restaurant for breakfast

Cons:

Hard to access late at night in the dark. Couldn’t find light switches and getting bags upstairs in the dark was difficult.

Pros:

It was small and secluded away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to walk to see the sights.
The staff were always super helpful and friendly.

Overall it was a lovely stay.
Pros:

Breakfast excellent.

Cons:
