Beautiful, beautiful private hotel. A sense of calm greets you as you walk through the front door and glide through the sitting rooms, dining room and kitchen, before being presented to your room. Whilst the building, the decor, the food and wine are superb, the real trump card is the service. The team at Islington go out of their way to accommodate special requests, prepare drinks and meals to your request. The ultimate for me, when the Chef saw me struggling with my bags after breakfast and downed his cooking utensils and offered assistance. We will definitely be back. Thank you Eliza, Mark and Kate.
