About the collection
Heritage features and modern ease, arranged a little differently in every room.
Every Junior Suite shares generous proportions and the same quiet contemporary comfort, but each is styled individually, taking its cues from the building it sits in. Some keep their original beams and fireplace; others frame the cathedral through sash windows or hide a freestanding bath beneath the eaves.
It depends on your rate. Where it isn't included, add it from £20 per person, served in the WinePress from 7am Mon to Fri, 7.30am Sat & Sun.

Yes. On-site parking for residents is available on a first-come basis from £10 overnight, and we'll validate your ticket at reception. Public parking is also available at St Andrew's car park, an 8 minute walk away.
Check-in is from 3:00pm and check-out is until 11:00am. Early check-in is subject to availability, so please mention it when booking or ask reception on the day and we'll do our best. If your room isn't ready yet, we're happy to look after your luggage. Late check-out is sometimes possible; ask reception on the morning.

As a historic building, parts of the hotel have no lift access, and some junior suites are reached by stairs alone, one only by a spiral staircase. Please mention any requirements when booking and we'll recommend the right room.
