amazing experience!

unbeatable locationonsite parkingprofessional staffpersonal touches
the location was unbeatable near the cathedral and castle.. onsite parking made everything so easy. the converted church was fine. staff, especially jo, were friendly and professional. we upgraded to the vip package celebrating our anniversary, and personal touches made it lovely!
the room was described as a 'suite' but it was just a bedroom with a bathroom.
