If you’re interested in historical stays in places that have restored/kept up with the original architecture, then The Brown would be an excellent place. We loved all the architecture and would say don’t be afraid to explore the hotel as a whole. The staff were wonderful, the food was exquisite, and the cleanliness was good. There was however, a build up of dust on some of the pictures throughout but some is to be expected.
