I loved this hotel. The staff was wonderful. Dinner wasn’t bad but not mind-blowing. Breakfast was pretty good. You could tell that every detail of the room was chosen meticulously for comfort and a smaller environmental footprint. The outdoor space in the back was heavenly to watch the sunrise. I was even lucky enough to have a bunny come hangout with me.

Not the greatest stay. The room was mostly clean but there were cobwebs around the ceilings and black mould at the bathroom sink. We were given a very welcoming check in tho.

Great place, not so great service.
The heaters in the room were not working or not hot enough to heat the room properly. We spent most of the night freezing and had to put on several layers to keep warm. I tried to go out in the lobby and hit the call button for someone but no one answered. In the pub, the bartenders didn’t seem to want to service us. There were only a few people in the pub but trying to wave down the bartender or to try to order something was just ignored. They came over to us when they felt like it. The food was ok, just a bit below par for pub food. It’s a shame because it a beautiful place and a beautiful town, and it’s a cozy inn with a great view. The customer service just needs to come up.

Amazing location and building. Breakfast included in the price is a boon. Our bedroom did not have a window and thus, was not entirely comfortable.
