Beautiful pub hotel in the heart of the historic district. However, check first what floor your room is on because you might need to carry luggage up four flights.

This was a lovely place to stay for a few days as we visited family and did some touristy trips. Even tho' this was above a tavern and in an area with other bars and restaurants, it was very quiet. Our room was very quaint, the staff were exceptional, the food was wonderful, the breakfast was very good. We had easy street parking. Our room was clean - tho' very small. We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Lovely venue & the staff were amazing. We were in one of the ‘cosy’ doubles which was plenty big enough & lovely to be provided with proper drinking glasses, coffee maker & even a teapot! Only downside was when we enquired about the roof terrace, members of staff didn’t think they’d got one & on exploration it was ‘out of order’

The best part of this hotel is its staff. They were all very helpful and just delightful. It's not a modern hotel but is very charming. Plenty of great restaurants within walking distance and shopping a 15 minute walk away. We loved this place and would stay here again.

Loved powerful colour palate in room but needed paint touch up in places. Otherwise super clean and comfortable and excellent breakfast, with very prompt friendly service. Would definitely stay again
