Lovely hotel in an amazing location with a super comfy bed.
Pros:

The bed was super comfy. We had an amazing view from our window. The staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The lack of plug sockets near the bed, we had to move the dressing table to reach one of the sockets.

Quiet, comfy stay
Pros:

Small room, but had everything we needed for a comfortable one night stay. Very quiet, super comfy bed and a delicious breakfast. There was an issue with noisy water pipes in our first room and they swapped rooms for us without question. We felt very well taken care of.
