7.8/10 Good! (492 reviews)

The room, staff and breakfast were excellent. However we chose this for its spa facilities. Unfortunately the steam room was out of service, and it only left a hot tub, small sauna and small pool which were busy due to selling of “spa days”.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (463 reviews)

Friendly service, especially at the front desk and the cleaners. Happy with the room, very nice/clean bathroom. Restaurant - limited options if vegetarian or vegan. Very "traditional" style but no real complaints

8.6/10 Excellent! (187 reviews)

Warm welcome and wacky decoration at beautiful townhouse, well situated for university. Inflated prices due to open day not entirely justified - no towels or hand soap in bathroom, limited breakfast choice (only full English, only white toast)
