“A little dated with bare minimum but overall good bang for buck and would stay again.”
Room was cozy and had the necessities. Was a definitely good overall bang for buck. Staff was very friendly and gave us some ceramic cups to borrow while there. Would return for cheap/simple stay in area but wouldn't choose for romantic get away though.

“Luxurious comfort in a historic setting.”
Beautuiful room in historic inn; full of quirks and character but extremely well-appointed, with a very comfortable bed and huge bath. The (included in price) Continental breakfast, delivered to the room in a neatly-packed hamper, was a brilliant idea. Breakfast in bed - great fun and a rare luxury.

The hairdryer didn't work properly, and we would have appreciated a cup of coffee in the morning.
