Excellent position

Pros: Love it’s character and charm, everything is restful and calm
Cons: Only on the bed front, really uncomfortable although on a previous visit we booked a suite and the bed was great!
Location: City centre, so close to everything! Lovely walks/parks/museums/theatres/restaurants / shops etc.
Staff were extremely pleasant and approachable . Room was clean and of adequate size but the bed has seen better days sadly and was bumpy and extremely creaky, Dining options were great although slightly over priced but being in the city centre I imagine would up prices a bit.
