Great Food

Great staff, clean room and fantastic food. The breakfast in particular was exceptional. But be warned, the portions are huge. All in all, a quaint little hotel that offers service well above its price band

Staff and food are great

The staff and food were fantastic. The hotel was being refurbished, but we were not informed about it, until we arrived. It involved, quite a convoluted detour around back stairs to get to our room, and those areas were very dusty. On the plus side, they did give a small discount as redress, but I felt it was still very overpriced for the stay.
