We had a fantastic stay. The room had everything you could need for your stay. Decorated perfectly, and the whole experience from first opening the door left us appreciative of the effort put in. Thanks to Camelia, our stay was enhanced and supported and we can’t wait to return.

Adorable room, fun theme, perfect location, clean! Only complaint was it was a bit hot and no central air conditioning. We enjoyed our stay in August. The property is aged but sort of goes with the theme. Overall, really enjoyed our stay and would recommend and stay again.

This is a cute little hotel! We really enjoyed the themed rooms and location. The one thing it could improve on is the quality of the bed but otherwise it was great.

Liked our Librarium room on the whole but needed room on other side of bed to get out but was right up against the wall.Shower cubicle was small and water came out very hot after a few mins and had to jump out.Loved the books and plenty of tea bags,coffee,hot chocolate and biscuits. No room on my side of bed to put a drink or anything.Great location and quiet room.

Great hotel for overnight stay.

Great hotel and theme. Room was warm. Due to age of building air conditioning not available, fans provided however so thank you. Amazing location right next to The Shambles.

One night stay!

I went for a one night stay with my mum, we really enjoyed our stay and loved the theme of our room! We especially loved how the bunk beds looked like they were in a train carridge! It suited our idea of a Harry Potter trip, will definitely be coming back again.
