Absolutely outstanding in every department.
Pros:

Beautiful period property with all of its features highlighted and shown off. But brought up to date with stylish decoration and modern touches here and there. The staff were attentive, professional but also friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Impeccable service at all times. From all involved.

Cons:

Nothing.

Impressive rooms and service
Pros:

Central location, parking on site, friendly staff, stylish and quiet room. Also ate there on the first night and whilst not a bargain, enjoyed the meal; breakfast also great.

Cons:

The room was decorated to a very high standard but the lighting was too stylish for its own good. Looked great but could have done with a decent overhead light, especially when packing. Everything else about the room was great
