High value, reasonable price, Georgian style
Perfect, cozy place to stay while traveling alone. Be ready to do the stairs, but if you need a hand with your bags the staff will volunteer to carry them. Lovely location, historical interior, super clean. Loved it.

Great location and cracking value. Lovely room with everything you needed. The only thing which was not 5 stars was the physical location of the breakfast hall and the quality of the food and service on offer. However this is really a minor issue for the price paid. The fact that the breakfast is served in the college 1 minute's walk away is stated on the website.
