Not cheap but superb value.
This hotel is not cheap, but it is excellent value for money. The level of comfort, service and the superb food make it an absolute delight to stay. It will rival many "luxury" London hotels.

Stunning Hotel
The hotel is a stunning building, that has been restored to the highest level. The rooms have mini-bars with complimentary soft drinks from local producers and there are four EV charging bays that are also free.
My only gripe was that we couldn't get the air conditioning to work.
