I picked it for the location as it was close to some places I wanted to show my partner. The hotel exceeded all my expectations. The room was fantastic and the service exceptional.

Beautifully appointed rooms in a very smart characterful hotel, the flagship of Hall & Woodhouse. A very interesting walk is also offered in a helpful in room guide. The beer is good too!
