Fabulous historical hotel , excellent room and bed was very comfortable. The staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful. Our only concern was the quality of the restaurant. The menu was weak and the quality of food was not as good as expected in a four star hotel. This is a shame as the hotel overall was first class , we would return, but very much doubt we’d use the restaurant unless it can Make improvements. A special mention to the lady on the front desk , who was extremely attentive and cheerful.
