Historic Charm and Central Location

central location beautiful ground kind staff large room

The location was central allowing easy access to the city center and market. The gardens and college grounds were beautiful.. I particularly welcomed the kindness from the Porter's staff. Our twin room was noticeably large with a good sized bathroom.

The absence of a television in the room was honestly somewhat drab.
