historic charm and attentive service
really good servicegood touchrelaxing stayserene environment
The staff provided really good service. Their attention to detail was amazing. breakfast offered numerous selections and the coffee was enjoyable. i appreciated the complimentary tea, coffee, and cakes available throughout the day and the evening prosecco was a good touch. the serene environment of the hotel contributed to a very relaxing stay.
the hotel's location presents challenges for those with mobility issues. i really think the hotel should point out the extreme location and the fact that fifty percent of taxis flatly refuse to drive up to it.
