Great. I'm already recommending to my friends
Pros:

Room 417 was cramped with very little storage space. Brilliant shower, very comfortable bed. Quiet. FANTASTIC LOCATION. Terrace jaw-dropping!

Cons:

Room 417 was cramped and we continually tripped between the legs of the bed and other furniture. Very little storage space.

Beautiful hotel, awful staff
Pros:

Great room and views.

Cons:

My wife stayed at the property the evening before we got married and despite us arranging multiple times the wedding morning, the staff were rude to wedding vendors and our friends who were joining my wife in her room to get ready.

Trying to deal with the staff in the weeks leading up was a nightmare. Honestly the hotel is supposed to be one of the best in Bristol, but the staff really let it down.

Once in a lifetime
Pros:

we booked a balcony room
which was spacious clean tidy well resourced with fantastic views. We stayed here on the night of the Solar eclipse so were treated to spectacular views across the Abon Gorge of the celestial event whilst sat on the balcony with glass of bubbles in hand. We then followed the excitement had a superb meal in the restaurant followed by coffee on the lounge bar A great memorable evening and event
