All aspects of the stay were excellent, the quality of the rooms, beds, linen/towels, service, F&B all very good, and the hotel is in a great location. Recommend without hesitation, but with an advisory, if you are not a (very) sound sleeper avoid front facing ground floor rooms (e.g. 3 and 4).

My friends and I were in rooms 3 and 4 ground/street level. Unfortunately, cars and conversations of passers by could be heard very clearly, which meant none of us slept well on the first night. With thanks to the front desk who moved us, without fuss, for the following night to rooms 22 and 26 upstairs and back-facing and it was a nice quiet night. As I mentioned the rooms are gorgeous and the beds are extremely comfortable, if you are a good heavy sleeper the noise in these rooms may not be a problem, but a light sleeper will likely be disturbed.

I booked Coat and Bear for a business partner who loved it. His room was in the Court Yard, a short walk from the main bar and restaurant. It was clean, spacious and high quality finishings. We both had dinner on the first night, which was excellent. The food and beverage menu was excellent. The staff were courteous and polite with lots of smiles. There was parking directly across the road. Very easy to get to. Highly recommend.

Nothing. It was all great.

Beautiful decor throughout. Comfy beds. Accessible room booked - bathroom well designed. Staff warm, friendly & helpful. Busy bar & restaurant but could not hear anything in accommodation. Well thought out.

Perhaps bed in accessible room a little high for a disabled person to get into.
