Lovely quiet comfortable room & excellent breakfast.
Pros:

Beautifully refurbished with an eye for detail.
Even had an Alexa in my room which was an unexpected bonus. Lots of plug sockets & recharging points.
Lovely quiet room - excellent for light sleepers.
Well done I loved my overnight stay & just wished I'd been able to stay longer!

Cons:

Maybe a small bar facility in the welcoming lounge area. Doesn't necessarily have to be manned as some provide this on a grace & favour method & just added on the bill.
