The Inn at Manchester

10/10 Excellent
"One of the nicest inns that I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at. Beautiful setting, very clean room…. almost felt like a small apartment. The one thing that I didn’t like was that I was on the third floor and the stairs leading up are very steep, and you have to turn your foot sideways in order to get up or down on each small (but steep) step. There are no elevators, so you have to be able to climb steep stairs if you’re on the third floor."
