Wonderful Find!
Pros:

What a find ! This wonderful hotel is in a historic building that has been sympathetically restored into a luxury hotel whilst still retaining its historical importance
every major sight is on your doorstep, fully walkable, once leaving the hotel you can be standing on the historic walls within moments

We have been lucky enough for stay in all the categories of the rooms previously but this time we stayed in a suite which was just so amazing
Professional & welcoming team, thank you to Kaysei & all the team in front office for another memorable stay
Breakfast was lovely, great selection of cereals, pastries, juices etc & a freshly cooked breakfast also .. yum !
If you don’t manage to be lucky enough secure a room at the Bishop’s Gate for your stay then do at least have dinner in the restaurant or drinks in the bar when visiting this town

For comfort, service & location this is the best hotel in town without a doubt

Brilliant Bishop's Gate
Pros:

This was our third stay in the Bishop's Gate and won't be the last. A perfect experience in every regard - the warm welcome, convenient valet parking by Patrick, excellent dinner served by a friendly team of efficient staff and rounded off with a high quality breakfast before departure. Highly recommended.
