Breakfast was a pleasure every single day. Afternoon tea was a delight and a welcome respite from walking & sight-seeing. We absolutely loved sitting by the fireplace in our room. The bathroom was small, but that's what one should expect from a classic old building. The fact that they maintain it so well is amazing, and a real credit to the innkeeper(s).

Staff was wonderful!!!! The room was too small, especially the bathroom. The floors are really squeaky so you could hear when the adjacent room was walking around anytime of day or night. Thin walls too so you hear others talking, etc. Great staff!, but I would not stay there again. It is definitely overrated.
