great locationfriendly staffcrammed receptionnoisy room
The location was convienient. It was close to the Minster. Breakfast include a starter and a cooked breakfast. Toast, cups of tea and juice were also available. The staff gave us advice on places to visit.
I found the reception area was crammed. A storage unit was also in situ. This caused problems getting past. The room on the front was very noisy. People leaving the pub and the premises kept me awake.
