Staff were very friendly and helpful in every way. Lovely room and appointments. If I were to be picky - a boutique venue might be expected to have quality tea and coffee. The little things do get noticed and compared by travellers. An enjoyable break in a community conscious town. -Robert

It is very closely located to the Strand, which is great if thats what you ate after. On the downside it is expensive for what you get though.
