Poet House Stay
The room was very boujee. Creature comforts such as robes, slipers, and toiletries get a big thums up. Room 19. The door handle to the room door was concerningly loose. It was escalated to the front desk but still awaiting repair after two nights stay. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was too hot. It could do with controls that we could adjust.

This is a gem. It is quaint and elegant, but has every wonderful contemporary amenity. So comfortable and an amazing staff. We enjoyed the restaurant. Great access to the cathedral and museums, can walk down to the river. Shop at the antique market or some sweet little shops downtown. Highly recommend.

Lovely overnight stay
Lovely hotel, car park is a way off but you can drop and pick up luggage which helps. Our ground floor room was spacious and well furnished but it looked onto the main road which meant the curtains needed to be closed for privacy. Staff were very helpful, well trained and polite. Food and drink which was tried was good too!

Amazing!
Check in & Reception staff were very welcoming and professional. Amazing job! Bar staff matched that feel too. The staff in the restaurant in the morning were very young and did not match the rest of standards as they were not on top of things. Refilling juice, replacing glasses, taking orders all very slow. Which was a shame as the food itself was great. There was a wedding on the Friday night and we had dinner in the restaurant, the bar staff had reserved tables in the bar for diners, which I thought was a great touch and very welcomed :-)
