Beautiful, old building that lived up to its boutique atmosphere. Great (included) breakfast with attentive, friendly staff throughout our stay. Facilities appeared to need a little refreshing, paint job in room was not up to the standards of the rest of the hotel, but highly recommend for solicitous staff, great location, and comfortable, spacious room.

Location was excellent and should have been a quiet road as it’s a side road but rubbish/recycling picked up at like 0530 in the morning on two of my 3 mornings meant I didn’t sleep well. My shower control must have been broken because my shower was luke warm whilst the sink’s hot water was very hot! I’m not sure if the food in the room was free but it didn’t occur to me that it may have been until I saw the enormous amenities charge to my bill. It would have been nice to make that clear..just requires a little note or being told at check in. The continental breakfast was very average but I’m not a breakfast person. The staff were great. On balance I would not stay there again.

Great location and great place to stay. A B&B with involved staff and a commitment to guest comfort and convenience. New breakfast area holds just-baked pastries and fruit, besides juices and coffee. We enjoyed our stay - our third or fourth here - very much.

The staff went above and beyond when I needed assistance, incredible people. The street it’s on isn’t one of the main streets so it was pretty quiet. The room was comfortable and had all the amenities I needed, even plenty of shelf space in the large shower! Will stay here again.
