Excellent stay, close to the city center and far enough away from all the noise to get a good nights sleep!

Staff was absolutely lovely! Always helpful

For the travelers who value comfort, friendly service, and a breakfast that could fuel a dragon

Forget your soggy cereal and lukewarm coffee routines. Breakfast was a smorgasbord fit for royalty (or at least a really hungry traveler). I even discovered a new love for smoked salmon. Staff was friendly, helpful, and always up for a chat. The room was on the smaller side, but it was impeccably clean, well-maintained, and had everything.

Small size room in the extension.

Family New Years Eve trip

Friendly staff, cosy room, good quality toiletries and tea making facilities. Comfy bed and proper shower. Nice touches such as letter from manager and New Year gifts. Nice breakfast.

Only one gripe was not to have a mirror light in bathroom, so it was quite hard to see when I put on make up but not a major issue.

Fab stay at the Scholar

Rooms were comfortable and spacious. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful and could not have done enough to make our stay better. The food was excellent, we had the breakfast, a lunch and a dinner and the quality and service was excellent.

The shower could have been a little cleaner but this did not detract from a great few days away.
