The breakfasts were amazing. Delicious and generous portions. Plenty of options too, from healthier and lighter choices to very filling cooked breakfasts. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, giving us advice about where to visit and nicest way to walk into town when we asked. Being a listed building gave the place plenty of character, which we preferred to a soul-less modern hotel. We travelled by train and enjoyed not having to worry about parking. The accommodation is an easy 10 mins walk from Haymarket Station, maybe a few mins more from Waverly, and given that pretty much everything we wanted to see is so close, we made the right choice to see the sights on foot. The one exception was the zoo, which was a cheap and easy bus ride away (and well worth a visit).

The water pressure in the shower was a bit low. This is understandable given the listed status of the building, which I imagine limits the ability to install very modern pressurised systems. Still, the water was plenty hot enough, it just wasn't as powerful as our shower at home.
