The staff were very efficient and friendly. The room while small was very clean. The only disappointment was that being a Saturday the restaurant was busy and they tried to place us at a very dark side table. We decided not to dine there and found a lovely Turkish restaurant in the High St. Overall a great stay.

We were moved after checking in because Renovations were being done early in front of our room. We were upgraded which was nice, but the room was noisy as traffic started early in the am. It was drafty and we couldn't regulate the temp. Too cold to too hot with drafts. The room was aesthetically pleasing and apparently Richard II stayed there. It was unusually cold weather so that was probably not expected.

Need more staff
Breakfast slow as only 1 member of staff. Coffee machine not working. Rubbish variety at breakfast. They have a nice restaurant and reception area but don’t use it. Instead there’s a crappy table in corner and has a pub vibe. Rooms smell of glade plug ins is unbearable. Bedroom uncomfortable as curtains don’t keep light out, could do with blinds.
