I stayed in a single room on the top floor that was perfect for my needs - comfy bed, plenty of outlets, en suite, a window that opened, a small TV, a kettle, a desk. There are stairs and narrow hallways which might prove challenging for some, but the eclectic knick-knacks make it an interesting trip. The pub is small but has cozy side rooms, the dining area large enough with good breakfast options, and I also got a good pie for dinner one night. The location was perfect for taking a boat excursion or walking the small downtown area, and the (paid) parking area isn't too far away on the other side of the roundabout. (You can briefly stop in front on the inn to unload your luggage upon arrival, though!) The staff was great.

We enjoyed the hotel but it was not very mobility friendly due to the stairs upto the room mind we never asked for a mobility room so we don't know if they had one and there are good handrails up the staircase but my wife has 2 replacement knees and still found it very difficult to get up and down the stairs
