This was a wonderful stay. My husband and I are traveling on our honeymoon and they made it so special for us. From special notes and Prosecco in our room to remembering where we wanted to sit for dinner and putting us in the same spot for breakfast. Rooms are nicely updated (carpets are a bit tired) but the location, trad music, bar and restaurant are amazing. Highly recommend a stay at the Arnold's Hotel.
