Historic Charm and Great Service
christmas decorations delicious breakfast friendly cat
The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Breakfast was delicious and included many options. The complimentary toiletries and biscuits were a nice touch. I also enjoyed seeing the friendly cat (a true highlight!).
The room was too hot, and there was no air conditioning. I spoke to reception and they moved me to a garden-facing room. This second room was more comfortable and cooler.
