Chose the 40 Winks as they had interesting rooms- a real boutique hotel and so much nicer than the standard white box you get. We stayed in the Gala Room which was AMAZING! The bed was so comfy and having a bath in the lovely roll top whilst admiring the views of the Cathedral was a great start to the morning. Staff were lovely and the breakfast was delicious (and filling). Location superb too.

    The owner was so lovely and welcoming. The hotel is so classy and luxurious, I felt like lady of the manor for a night! I didn't want to leave. Love how they've redecorated since taking over, it's just beautiful!
