Overall the room and hotel is good. But small things can really make my rating improved to 5 stars. For example, 1. the curtains... Hooks are off and parts of the curtains were falling. This caused the curtains not closed completely. 2. Shower head holder cannot hold the shower head. The owner replaced the shower head... But it's NOT the right type... So I have to use one hand to hold it to shower. If these 2 were sorted, my rating can be a 5 stars.

A heritage hotel

I loved this little hotel. Its like stepping back a century! It's beautifully restored and cared for, with a very comfortable bed and an excellent shower over the bath. A staff member was happy to help when I asked for someone to carry my bag down the steep staircase.
