charming clifton stay

friendly staff georgian architecture
I found the staff friendly and quick to help. the hotel's georgian architecture really appealed to me. the breakfast had many choices, including hot plates prepared at. the location made local exploration easy. It offered quick access to the clifton suspension bridge.
during my stay, i noticed some noise coming from other rooms. i could hear doors banging at night, a thing that disturbed my sleep a little.
