The hotel was grand but also quite dated. The floor numbering was confusing, with several half floors, making it difficult to navigate. We had requested adjoining rooms, or at least two rooms on the same floor, but our rooms ended up being quite far apart. That said, the location was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

So, this property was originally built in the 17th century. It feels old ( and smells old). The property could be better maintained to retain its classic charm. Breakfast was good. Access to the spa for kids under 16 is only available between 0800-1000, so if you bring kids don’t count on this. Also, even though there was an open room next store the hotel did not put my kids in the adjacent room. Not the greatest service. I would give it 4 stars top.

1. We tried beds in 3 different rooms and all were awful. Completely warn out with no support. 2. Asked concierge to recommend a kayak trip but didn't know anything about it. 3. All of the rooms and public spaces needed cleaning and updating. Broken trim on the internal stairs in the lobby. Really shabby. 3. Breakfast was absolutely great!

Breakfast is spectacular and well priced. Beautiful common areas. But the rooms themselves are a bit blah. And they charge through the roof if you want to use the pool which is pretty poor given the price.
