“The property impresses with its quaint, picturesque character and a courtyard that feels like a hidden gem. Staff consistently emerge as remarkably attentive, going beyond to assist guests, a sentiment echoed even when breakfast is served at the adjoining Penny Farthing. While the main hotel offers immaculate rooms and a well-regarded dining experience, the breakfast location occasionally divides opinion, though many still find it a good start to the day.”
