Bar and Restaurant staff helpful and polite. Food (breakfast) was very good. Checkin was below the standard expected, as was the attitude of the duty manager when we made a complaint. We won’t be staying at the hotel again for this reason.

From the moment we arrived we were very impressed with how the building has been restored, both outside and inside, retaining many original features. We were given a warm welcome by the staff who were happy to share their knowledge of the building. Our room had everything we needed and, considering the walls were stone, it was spotless. We enjoyed the Champagne Bar and The Chapel (for evening meal and breakfast), all of which were excellent. The later check out gave us time to explore the building. We look forward to a further stay in the future and would highly recommend.

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.

Absolutely loved this hotel! It was such a pleasant surprise, despite already having high expectations. We were in a dog friendly room on the ground floor and it was incredible. The history of the building is evident and we really enjoyed exploring the exterior and the areas near the restaurant. The staff were all very very helpful and pleasant. I honestly could haven’t asked for a better stay. Thank you!

Stunning hotel & overall very pleased with our stay. Breakfast was good & staff were willing to adjust the menu to needs. We booked the history tour for £30 for two, which was supposed to last an hour but we were told the wrong place to meet & missed the beginning & the tour only lasted 30 minutes..had we have known this we would not have booked it..reception staff didn’t seem to know a lot about the tour arrangements…just a slight niggle but still enjoyed our stay!

The rooms were spacious, clean and well equipped. But noisey from the car park and people smoking and chatting outside our bedroom window so we were woken up late at night and early morning. The bar was full and no where to sit. The restaurant was a little soulless but good food and service. Music was depressing especially at breakfast.
