The St James cannot be faulted - the rooms are outstanding, attention to detail is second to none and the owners/ managers are excellent. It was such a pleasure to stay at a hotel which didn't keep adding on extra costs for everyday things like Internet and laundry facilities. This is highly recommended accommodation. Oh, and beds are awesome -... More

We booked our stay at The St James on a punt and couldn't have selected better. The location in the town is great, the room facilities top notch and the reception and care shown couldn't have been better - especially as we kept changing our arrival time. You can tell that the owners have set up The St James to... More

My first tripadvisor review. My wife and I stayed at the St James jan 2012 which at the time had been open for 15 months but it looked brand new. I was blown away with the stylish contemporary room fit out. We planned to tour around for a couple of days with this as base but it was so good... More

We were upgraded to an upstairs suite (#203) and the room was spacious, modern and of high quality. Our bathroom had a spa bath which was very relaxing (even after having being at... More
