The Mansion on 17th
Cleanliness needs improvement, hair and dust, steins on bed sheets. No window in the room - this should have been highlighted when booking.

The George Manor
The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, delicious homemade sweet roll, and a variety of traditional English breakfast items. Coffee was great. Very attentive, helpful staff. Afternoon English tea with homemade scones was great but needed to be ordered in advance. Excel suite was spacious.
