Lovely stay close to all the local landmarks
Overall a good stay in a comfortable room with friendly staff. Check-in is listed as 2pm, we arrived around 12 noon & went in to register our car for the onsite parking (£14 for 24 hours). Reception staff were welcoming & offered luggage storage until check-in. We didn't use this facility. We returned at 2.45 to be told that the room was still not ready, however a complimentary drink voucher was provided for use in the bar while we waited. By the time we had finished our drinks the room was ready. The room was spacious & comfortable with a wonderful view of the river & cathedral. On our second day when we returned from sightseeing around 3pm we were disappointed to find that the room had not been cleaned & made-up (despite the appropriate sign being displayed on the door). A short while later a member of the housekeeping team did arrive to clean the room, but it felt a little hurried & awkward. I can only assume the hotel has a shortage of housekeeping staff which is a shame. Aside from these inconveniences I would have scored 5 stars across the board.

The property was clean and well taken cared off. The rooms were lovely and spacious. The staff were good, but you had to prompt them to take any steps to take care of a situation. There was not a fridge in the room. Breakfast was fantastic and staff at the restaurant was excellent.
