This hotel is in a gorgeous old property, with public transportation very close. The staff were all lovely and helpful. My one negative would be that our rooms were HOT. One of the 2 rooms that were on our reservation had a fan that could be plugged in for air circulation, but even with it on, it was like being in a hot yoga studio at any time of the day.

Time allowed for parking very generous, several hours after check out time. Drivers of larger cars will struggle with tight corners getting in to parking area. Room was lovely, but wish hotels would provide lighter duvets for summer months. Lovely staff in bar and breakfast areas, makes such a difference to the stay. All in all a top class hotel, would certainly visit again.
