Splash out on one of the Ivy Copper rooms and you are rewarded with views of the Abbey Gardens, as well as a free-standing copper bath.
Our room featured a vast marble bathroom.
The eclectic style was a winner for me, with an antique desk alongside a feathered floor lamp.
The bed was huge and comfy.
