The milk in the fridge was out of date. No sugar in the room for coffee. Powerboard was broken and didn’t work. Room was very cold. I normally have a good experience but this time wasn’t the best unfortunately.

Very homely. Beautiful to sit out on balcony at sunset. So convenient to have the restaurant downstairs for casual dining. Sally was so easy to deal with, allowing us to check in early. Thank you!! Have stayed several times before, and will stay again. Home away from home.

The room was comfortable, location very good. Obviously an historically old building and as such was a bit worn in parts. The Male shared bathroom was very small. Otherwise we enjoyed the overnight there
