Lovely, cozy little hotel with a homely feel and kind helpful staff
Pros:

Very cozy and comfortable. Lovely staff who were helpful and accommodating.

Cons:

I don’t think guests should have to pay to use a hotel car park, felt like a hidden cost.

Gorgeous hotel, gorgeous brand, and a really lovely room.
Pros:

Gorgeous hotel, gorgeous brand, and a really lovely room. But if I’m being honest, for the price (especially for Southampton), I was a bit surprised breakfast wasn’t included. It just felt like that final piece of the experience was missing - and without it, it stopped just short of being a solid ten out of ten.

Cons:

Very thin walls, we could hear everything!
