Lovely historical hotel
It’s a lovely hotel with an abundance of history. Room was clean and spacious , ceiling was a little low but when you know the history of the building it’s understandable. Our only complaint is the continental breakfast. Options were extremely limited for people with dietary restrictions which I voiced to hotel staff. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again

On arrival I wouldn't say the receptionist was very welcoming and didn't make me feel good to be there. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was a let down with no plates for the croissants or jam to go with them. Overall, felt it was a poor selection for the so called standard of hotel
