Excellent facilities & staff but noisy!
Having the spa water directly to my hotel bath was a luxury and a worthwhile experience. Only downside was the noise in the street which ruined a night in a very comfy bed. Unfortunately a listed building so windows can not be changed to double or triple glazing.

Wonderful stay
From check in to check out everything was wonderful.
We arrived early so they looked after our bags which was then placed into our room before we arrived.
We stayed in a suite with full mini fridge included. They also use designer miniture toiletries that are in the bathroom alongside bath robe and slippers. Tv allows you to connect with your phone to stream netflix etc.
Access to the spa is available between 19:00-21:00 and 08:00-10:00 which is beautiful.
Upon arriving back in the evening a downturn service was provided with bottled water provided by the bedside table ane pillow mist and lip balm.
Check out also smooth a very delightful stay!
