The Stirk House Hotel

The Stirk House Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great place, great staff, comfortable rooms and beautiful setting. My only issue would be the interior does not match the exterior charm. They have lost an opportunity to make a charming interior in the main entrance, bar and rooms but have instead brought in cheesy carpet, walls that feel carpeted and just overall dated look that hides the charm of the building"
