Last minute booking. Furniture in the room was a little dated but 5 stars for a very comfortable bed, amazing bathroom with great shower. Lovely staff who were friendly and could not do enough for us. Loved the extra touches - packets of fudge in the room, decent tea, bottled water and good biscuits. Decent breakfast. Loved the old world grandeur of the building. Would recommend this hotel and we will be back. Shout out to The olive tree restaurant - amazing food
