Cozy stay with some minor hiccups

clean room breakfast options georgian library helpful staff

The room was very clean. I appreciated the delicious breakfast options. The building has character with its Georgian library. I found the staff to be helpful with directions.

The lift was out of service. Walking up the stairs to my room became tiring after sightseeing all day. The lack of toiletries in the room was a small inconvenience.
