We spent a very relaxing w/e at Southernhay House. The rooms are luxurious, spacious, clean and very comfortable. The staff are welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Bar and restaurant are both beautifully designed with many references to the building's historic past. The food was excellent also.

說實話，我看了小紅書過來的，地理位置很OK，但房間真的不行，小不說了，廁所只夠一個人轉身，居然還沒有咖啡機！！想喝咖啡只能每天去下樓買到院子喝。歷史建築物是噱頭，但我覺得價格太貴，兩晚550磅。花園還行吧，可能我住英國，覺得還行吧，價格太高。

Liked: Amenities
Very comfortable bed . Incredible bath . Very convenient for cathedral , station and sights . Staff very courteous . Only whinge is for the cost of the room I would have expected more choice of tea s , coffees milk etc and maybe a pack of biscuits !! Despite warning I thought more care could have been taken for dietary intolerances or warning me to find an alternative restaurant for evening meal .
