A lot of effort has obviously gone in to restore the property to its original glory
Pros:

The location was very central and close a range of restaurants . The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

There were two flights of stairs to our room. This was challenging with two heavy suitcases. Very limited car parking. Breakfast was adequate.

Great location and great heritage/historic aesthetic vibe
Pros:

It was a very heritage vibe with furniture to match the theme and history of the Manor. I liked the historic aesthetic and facade

Location is fantastic! Paid parking available within the hotel otherwise plenty of paid street parking around.

Cons:

The couches in the room can do with a steam clean as they were quite stained. It would have been nice if the complimentary continental breakfast had hot items included.
