Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt.
Pros:

Lage war super, Frühstück vielseitig und lecker. Schönes großes Collegegelände zur Nutzung. Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Dusche roch bei ersten Benutzungen komisch. Ich würde empfehlen die öfter durchzuspülen wenn das Zimmer länger nicht benutzt wird.

Fantastic!
Pros:

The room was very clean, modern, and light. It had all the facilities I needed, for example, a good shower, kettle/tea/coffee/milk/biscuits/water, a small fridge, an iron and ironing board and TV. It was in a good location and easily walkable to every where. The breakfast was great and plentiful, and there were various hot and cold options and there were vegan sausages. It was also lovely to eat in the historic dining hall and go for a walk afterwards in the lovely gardens. The staff were very helpful, pleasant and friendly. It was a great combination of staying in an historic college but with all the conveniences of a modern room. Highly recommended.

Cons:

I can't think of anything that they could have done better.

Comfortable and well thought out
Pros:

Rooms are well put together and beds are comfortable. It's lovely being within the college and so close to the centre. Breakfast is exceptional - a cut above any normal hotel breakfast.

Cons:

The only tiny thing is that there's obviously something up with the drains, which smell ever so slightly in the showers.
