9.6/10 Exceptional! (147 reviews)
The property was tastefully furnished which reflected its historical past. There was a spacious sitting room for use by guests and a kitchen equipped for the heating and simple cooking of meals. The tasty breakfasts were cooked to order with locally sourced ingredients. There was a small but pleasant garden with suitable seating areas. The staff were always welcoming, helpful and friendly. It was an easy 12 minute walk into the cathedral area and town. We had a very comfortable stay although we would have preferred one of the slightly bigger rooms had one been available. I should like to have revisited with a friend but there are no twin rooms at the property.

Great stay can only imagine how nice it would be in the summer as my stay was in November. One thing to note. Cost hangers needed!
