Convenient location near the city centre but on a fairly quiet street. The room was large, spacious and comfy. I could not find the switch for the bathroom light so that stayed on throughout my stay - but maybe I am just unobservant? The Italian restaurant downstairs was excellent. A shame they don't offer breakfast ,but there was a good cafe only a 5 minute walk away, so that was fine.

Lovely hotel and restaurant

Really lovely hotel, stayed in the Coach House, lovely decor and surroundings, very pretty court yard. We found the bed a little bit uncomfortable as it was very soft. We were wishing they did breakfast, the food in the restaurant is amazing and I'd imagine they would do fantastic breakfast. Lovely place to stay, highly recommend!
