"A lovely hotel in a lovely town. The staff are genuinely welcoming and knowledgeable, the food was excellent, and the whole hotel has a real sense of quality about it. The wall of photographs of some of its more famous guests is a nice touch too. We’d stayed before, but our room this time was considerably bigger, which made the stay feel that bit more luxurious. A really enjoyable return visit and somewhere we’d happily stay again."
