Overall because of the aspects on poor quality breakfast I would say more a feeling of disappointment
Pros:

Lovely building. Staff friendly. Nice big room.

Cons:

Breakfast just awful. Given price for a stay c.£250 per night I expected a decent breakfast and not to be eating on cardboard plates with a plastic knife and fork. Food was also below par and what I would expect to get in a 2 or 3* British B&B.

Our room whilst nice and comfortable was right next to the main room. So constant traffic noise.

All great, Historic little town.

Make sure that there is a lift organised.
