Excellent luxury room in a central location
Pros:

The location and quality of the accommodation is fabulous . The bathroom was huge and very impressive with plenty of fluffy towels and nice toiletries. The decor was stylish and traditional yet felt contemporary with every little extra you could hope for . Nice touch were the home made cookies in the room.

Cons:

Nothing

Quiet hotel, comfortable stay in a large room with luxurious feel and fantastic bathroom.
Pros:

The room and bathroom were large and well equipped. I liked the complimentary coffee, tea and water, comfortable bed and bedding, smart TV so I could log into my personal accounts. I enjoyed using the large bath and large shower.

Cons:

Although I don't think the room was overlooked, there was a window opposite the toilet area that didn't have a blind. It didn't feel private for using the bathroom, I blocked it up with some cushions!

Perfect stay
Pros:

The room was beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice. It was spacious, equipped with everything we could need. The bathroom was lovely and the spa toiletries were the perfect extra touch. We also loved the complimentary biscuits, perfect with a cup of tea when we arrived.
We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to everyone.

Cons:

We loved it all!
