Room was very good. However one problem did cause us some annoyance. The radiators in the room were constantly making a noise all night and all day. It seemed to us that they were constantly updating their central heating system. This was our only complaint in respect of this short break. Problem was only for overnight stay but could have been worse if we had a longer stay.

The friendliest staff who made me feel at home the second I walked in. I was pleasantly surprised to find I’d been kindly upgraded free of charge into a beautiful, clean room with the most gorgeous view overlooking the city. A comfortable night’s sleep followed by a delicious breakfast! Thank you so much to all the staff at The Place.
