Oldy-worldy charm in a converted attic, complete with a copper tub (separate from the bathroom). The only (minor) downside is the narrow, steep staircase to two of the rooms which might be troublesome for some people. Excellent 5-star breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really enjoyed our stay. Food was excellent. Only hiccup was no hot water on the first night, which was rectified as quickly as they could. Only suggested improvement would be to add a lamp/light switch next to the bed - it was a bit odd not to have it.

Excellent room, service level could be better

The hotel clearly didn’t have enough staff, just two people running around covering the bar, restaurant and checking people in. We attempted to check in at the specified time of 3pm and told the rooms were still not ready, we were checked in and then had to wait a further 20mins before we actually checked in, the room was nice and very well decorated just a shame about the lack of staffing resource taking the edge off the service level which is a shame.
