The attention to detail in the room I stayed in was excellent (clean, spacious, well-equipped, tasteful in design..) and I had a very comfortable stay indeed. It felt luxurious and was very good value for money. Everything is good quality and carefully chosen, from the soaps and shampoos in the dispensers (very 'English', a nice touch), to the linens and the arrangement of coffees and teas on the side table. The welcome I received from the young lady working behind the bar was exceptionally good and makes this hotel stand out for me as one I would want to use again. I had arrived well before check-in time, but was able to access my room early, which helped because I had heavy bags with me. Any noise I heard was not from the road, but from the building being a very old one, with creaky floorboards and narrow stairways and corridors. It wasn't a major issue and certainly wouldn't put me off from staying there again (it was a Friday night, after all, and there was an expectation that there would be quite a lot of coming and going outside the door, which was located near the rear exit). The express check in and check out made things very convenient for me, as I had to leave early next morning before staff arrived. Altogether: highly recommended!
