Lovely stay
Found this little gem while looking for a place to stay last minute. I loved the environment and friendly staff. What a wonderful stay with comfortable sleeping. A parking garage right below the hotel was great so I didn’t even have to get wet from the rain or freeze walking to the car.

Cosy stay!
We enjoyed our night! Met some family for drinks in the lovely pub, then later that evening went down to Basso for dinner at the bar. Everything was perfect! All service at both bars was hospitable...in fact, every employee we encountered was just great! Our food was perfect at Basso. The lobby with the blazing fire was very much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Beautiful artwork
The breakfast this stay was good, but not as great as on previous stays. The hotel has wonderful artwork all over and the rooms are all named for authors. Overall, a good stay but the HVAC in the John Bunyan room sounded like a motor boat. During our stay two people were manning the front desk, but one woman was running the entire bar serving food, as well as drinks by herself.

Lovely spot for a Christmas stay
We can out to visit our adult children for Christmas. The Cheshire felt cozy and Christmasy. The staff are wonderful. The hot breakfast was somewhat limited, but delicious. The beds were clean and comfortable. One thing to note, the bed frames stick out further than the mattresses, and are just waiting to crack your shin!
A great stay overall!

Will probably go back again because of location.
Thin walls. Noisy neighbors. No safe. No in-room fridge. No fan in bathroom. Light in bathroom across room from entry hard to access. Noisy heating/fan system. Not very clean. Very much on the low average side. Convenient location. Staff good. Breakfast was good. Fox & Hounds nice access but not much room to sit. Basso was very loud, food was good. Wait staff (Autumn) was outstanding. Nice access to Starbucks.
