Staff were lovely, very accommodating, excellent breakfast & lovely decor. In spite of my small critisicm i would re
Pros:

My room was lovely , very spacious, well
appointed & with a bath to soak in , although it was across a courtyard in the Coach House , a bit off putting at first but the huge room made up for that. Once inside the hotel it is lovely with very nice furnishings , lovely dining & bar area & sunny conservatory looking out onto the garden.

Cons:

The main door into the hotel was a bit grotty & the entrance from the outside looked a bit tatty , although lovely flowers in the garden. The door into the Coach House was also a bit grotty - they need need a good scrub or coat of paint. It is only something little but would make a big difference.

Pros:

Frisches Obst beim Frühstück. Meist freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Erstaunlich gut geschlafen auf dem sehr schmalen Bett.

Cons:

Das Bad war schmutzig, das Glas das dort stand dreckig. Im Zimmer bestand ein hartnäckiger unangenehmer Geruch mit einer Mischung aus altem Zigarettenrauch und schlechtem Raumduft. Die Einrichtung ist schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen.

Pros:

Älterer Gebäude-Komplex nahe dem Fluss Cam und damit gute fußläufige Erreichbarkeit des Stadtkerns (der Bahnhof liegt allerdings weiter entfernt am anderen Ende der Stadt, jedoch akzeptable Busanbindung). Zimmer pragmatisch-einfach eingerichtet, Duschbad in Ordnung. 'Continental breakfast' okay, aber ohne größere Highlights ('english breakfast' kostet extra).

Cons:

Teils modernisierungsbedürftig; Bar / Restaurant nur zeitweise besetzt.
