Charming Stay with Historic Touches

unusual pubclean roomhelpful staffbreakfast bag
The building had character and unusual features. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff were helpful and friendly. They offered to prepare a breakfast bag for my early departure. This was really appreciated.
The building is quite old so ceilings in some areas are low. I had to watch my head in corridors and on the stairs.
