Really good Boutique Experience

afternoon tea tasting spoons super clean room attentive team
The hotel provided a good afternoon tea and tasting spoons. The quality was so high, I did not feel the need to dine elsewhere (a real treat!). Breakfast was also wonderful. I recommend the Arnold Bennett omelette. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, offering superb comfort. The team, especially Vicky, elevated the stay to one of my best experiences.
The television was not positioned at an optimal height for viewing from the bed, a very minor inconvenience.
