Pros:

Staff were pleasant and polite
Hotel itself is lovely

Cons:

The room smelt badly of drains, an obvious issue with the drainage and SVP
The large sash window in the room is stuck open at the top sash. impossible to close, so could hear the traffic all night
At 0430am there was deliver, very load, banging, shouting, slamming doors etc, which given the time in the morning woke me and my wife, could not get back to sleep, little though here for the guests located near the drop of point

Lovely room, friendly staff, joined the Milsoms priority club and excellent food and drink
Pros:

From arriving early, before check-in, the staff were lovely. We took drinks in the shade on the terrace.

The check-in was easy and the rooms were lovely.

The breakfast was excellent on both mornings and given the heat having breakfast on the covered terrace was wonderful.

The night we ate in the evening the food was excellent, the Wagu burger was fabulous as were the duck tacos.

Cons:

Drinks were a bit more than City of London prices, which I found a little surprising.

The car park gets very busy over lunchtime so if you get there before check-in time it may be tight for parking.
