The spaciousness of the central areas and fantastic hotel. Lovely old building, very friendly staff and we liked the Edwardian elegance of the public rooms. Decent enough sized pool plus jacuzzi and excellent food.
Price a little high, hard poched eggs and at dinner we rarely got in and out in less than 2 1/2 hours.
