Lovely atmosphere and rooms. Very intimate with a very nice courtyard. Honesty bar is a great idea. Service was exceptional. Definately an option for that couples weekend away! More

This hotel is lovely without being anything special. The service however was exceptionally nice. The rooms were not so quiet as we heard too much noise from the street. More

Reading other reviews, I can only conclude that some people are hard to please. Who'd be in hospitality?! Yes, I would have liked a more accessible powerpoint, yes the kitchen/bar is pretty tiny - but on the scale of what's important, these things are trivial, and if you want all the 'mod cons' go to the Sheraton down the road....

This hotel has aspirations, but it just doesn't make it. Nice friendly staff, lovely antiques in the room, good bed & bedding, nice bathroom, chocolate on the pillow, lovely little sitting area downstairs.

The accommodation was very clean and well presented, the rooms were well appointed with a mix of antiques and modern conveniences, and the bathrooms well executed. The room was freshened during...

I stayed at The Haymarket with 4 colleagues and all had the same reaction - gorgeous hotel, and the most comfortable beds ever slept on away from home. This is a lovely restored heritage building from 1855 that has been beautifully decorated and fitted with antiques sourced locally (I chatted with the manager over a relaxed breakfast in the courtyard...

I booked for our 2nd wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. I mentioned it was our anniverary and there was complimentary wine and chocolates in our room when we arrived. We stayed in the 'the schomberg' room, which was luxuriously appointed: flat screen TV, spa bath, gorgeous toiletries, big white fluffy bath robes, fresh fruit, magazines, French antiques. The... More
