The BW Nostalgia collection

The Priory is a beautiful hotel from BW’s 1980’s nostalgia collection, and this one didn’t disappoint. Complete with original furniture, moody lighting, 8:30pm restaurant/room service close, creaky floors and single glaze drafty windows. You can tell they’ve worked hard to replicate the late 80’s look. They even provide a complimentary jar of parma violets and swizzels drumsticks! My only complaint is that I couldn’t get Ceefax on the tv (couldn’t get much else either). Well worth a visit if you grew up in the 80’s and enjoy a stroll along memory lane. Won’t suit those looking for something modern and comfortable.
