Historical ambiance throughout the hotel, convenient free parking, charming quirks in décor

The poorly insulated windows let in noise from the street!!! The decor is desperately in need of modernization to revive its former glory!!! Maintenance issues detract from the overall experience, making it feel neglected!!!

I had a lovely stay while visiting the local attractions. The room was clean and spacious, and the atmosphere of the place was historic and charming. The freshly cooked vegetarian breakfast was a highlight for me, with plenty of fresh fruit available. I also appreciated the easy parking arrangement at the back of the hotel, which made my stay hassle-free.

Our room was gorgeous with wood panelling and a four-poster bed, super comfy! There was some noise from the busy junction outside, but the charm of the place made up for it. A bit warm in the ensuite, but overall, very inviting.

Charming Historic Inn with Room for Improvement

The hotel exudes charm with its historical features, and the breakfast truly stands out! Enjoyed the ample space in our King Suite, but the bathroom amenities left much to be desired. Request extra towels upon arrival to enhance your stay. a pleasant experience with potential for upgrades.
