This hotel is in a listed building and so suits guests who like stained glass windows and quirky shaped rooms more than the big spaces of many contemporary hotels. Rooms are quite dark, as ceiling lights are not permitted, but they are comfortable and welcoming. Meals are taken in a stunning, round room, which more than compensates for rather ordinary food. Marco Pierre White needs to up his game here! We would definitely book this hotel again. Staff in all parts of the hotel are very friendly and helpful.
