Wonderful
The furnishings and bed linens were both top quality. Very comfortable bed! Lots of closet space. There was no coffee/tea service in the room but the staff delivered tea supplies and kettle to my room.
I had a single occupancy room on the top floor. There is no direct elevator service and the stairs would be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Very small bathroom.

The hotel is beautiful and very tastefully furnished. The staff is uniformly helpful and friendly and will do anything in their power to accommodate a reasonable request. The atmosphere is quiet and dignified. The breakfast was tasty and abundant. The double sink in the bathroom was a treat.
We stayed for 5 nights, and we had to live out of our suitcases. There was woefully inadequate space for our clothes and other items. There were three half drawers, and two of them had items in them. The "closet" was organized very poorly, leading to not enough room to hang up coats, slacks, etc. Finally, the bath tub was dangerously slippery, and there was no rubber mat to mitigate this problem. It was so slippery that one day I decided to forego a needed shower rather than put myself at risk of falling.

Great location, very comfortable rooms and common facilities, clean and beautiful cosy design throughout. Feels like an upscale bed and breakfast experience.
The service was a little disappointing, didn’t fit with the warm chic vibe of this hotel. Staff at the restaurant is kind and welcoming.
