Summary: We had a wonderful two night stay. The welcome we received was outstanding. Staff were very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the access to tea, coffee and homemade biscuits down stairs. We ate in Bonnie’s on our first night. The bread starter was divine. The service and the rest of the meal was also very good. Our room was cosy and the shower was powerful. We would definitely return to this hotel. It was also a nice surprise to find that it was on the university campus and easily walkable into the old city within 35 minutes.
