Nice peaceful location with great access to to local places to visit. Good value for money if you don’t need to be in the middle of town, beats a Lenny Henry place hands down,

Beautiful building
Lovely hotel, my room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Strange not having a reception but all the access codes worked although I had to chase them as they weren’t emailed to me as advised. The lady I spoke to was very helpful and sorted quickly. My room was at the back overlooking the garden so was very quiet.
