    good breakfast

    an emotional haven for every traveler, where every request is met with care and attentiveness, just like my daughter's special bowl of fresh fruit during breakfast

    Warm atmosphere, attentive staff, good breakfast.

    spotty wi-fi

    Amazing stay with friendly vibes!

    Really enjoyed my night here. The mini suite was super spacious and had these cool exposed beams. Breakfast was self-serve and hit the spot. Those scotched eggs were a must-try! Only hiccup was that the Wi-Fi was kinda spotty.

    satisfactory stay but needs improvements

    The staff were very great. Chris, the bar man, was a highlight of my evening, providing great conversation and a relaxed atmosphere.

    The lack of a restaurant made the hotel feel somewhat quiet and limited for dining options.

    convenient location
    comfy bed
    good variety
    noisy room
    stuffy bathroom

    The friendly check-in set a positive tone right away. The room was spotlessly clean. Comfy bed ensured a good night's rest. I found the breakfast to be excellent, with a good variety, including tasty smoked salmon on bagels. The location is convenient for exploring the town, just a short walk to shops and attractions. Noise from the street was an issue. I heard traffic throughout the night, which disrupted my sleep. The bathroom's windows barely opened. Staff were generally polite, but during busy breakfast hours, service was slow. Despite these minor inconveniences, I would still come back for the overall experience.

    A good, cozy getaway

    I enjoyed a spacious room with high-quality linens and a lovely en-suite bathroom with a powerful shower. The breakfast was really good, with locally sourced options and a warm atmosphere. The friendly staff, and the location was perfect for exploring the charming city. The street noise did disturb my sleep at times.

    Can recommend for a weekend vacation

    Comfortable bed, friendly staff, and a convenient location made my stay enjoyable, especially with the easy access to regular direct train services running to Liverpool Street.

    Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.

    Lovely atmosphere and great location

    The breakfast was made to order with locally sourced ingredients. The staff were genuinely friendly and went the extra mile to ensure a pleasant experience. I did find the room size a bit cramped for an extended stay.
