Gorgeous Unique Sitting Areas- so relaxing!
Gorgeous historic inn with beautiful warm sitting rooms on the first floor with games, a roaring fireplace, and relaxing music. Food can be ordered from the in-house pub to this room as well, or eaten in the pub or dining room, which are both beautifully decked out as well. Rooms have delightful victorian decoration and vintage character. This was a fantastic refresh after having stayed in soulless contemporary hotels for all of my last stays.

Very quaint, historic hotel. Some updates to bathroom noted, but still small. Faint musty smell to the room, but i guess you'll have that with a hotel that old. Would be better without carpet. Enjoyed the complimentary brandy, added to the charm of the room
