Family Christmas Weekend.
We enjoyed our stay very much. We would have appreciated more pics and description of the suite we rented on the website as it was smaller and less equipped as we had hoped. But we made it work. The staff and management were incredibly friendly and accomodating. Thank you so much!

6/10 Good

Great location, okay rooms, very nice staff
The location is more valuable than the hotel, there's so much great stuff in close proximity. The bedroom was minimal. No temperature control, very few outlets, incredibly stiff mattress (double). Great big shower with high pressure water, but again minimal control besides on/off, hot/cold. Family had the suite in a smaller side building that had a hotplate and a convection microwave, as well as a kettle/toaster/coffee maker. We were able to bake buns and they turned out great but we did have to look up a user manual. The suite was also quite small and lacked any temperature control. If I was going with just 1 other person I'd target one of the suites. Solo, then a room is probably fine cause you're just there to sleep.

What a charm place to stay!
Staff were very kind, thorough and caring. Our room was in the cottage next to the hotel, and it was spacious and lovely, providing everything we needed. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant, and I have to say that the potatoes were the best I've ever had. Will stay here again!

8/10 Very Good

This was a very convenient location for my purposes. Easy walking distance to downtown and main city bus exchange. There is no elevator, so being on the 3rd floor was a bit of a nuisance after having walked around the city all day. Convenient to have the pub and restaurant in the same building. Staff were all extremely friendly. Price was certainly reasonable. I would recommend to friends to stay here.

Grand old hotel, piece of Victorian history
This is a very cool old hotel, lots of history and authenticity. No elevators, but for those who enjoy a few stairs it's well worth it. Rooms are big and comfortable, and the staff is pleasant and helpful.

That UK feeling with Great Value !!
Great character hotel. UK feeling. If you’re expecting a big chain named cookie cutter suite, this place is not for you. If you’re expecting an authentic UK styled building then this is where you want to be. Great overall value. Check out the reasonably priced restaurant downstairs also.

A unique historic hotel in agret neighborhood for.
Lovely heritage property in convenient and peaceful neighborhood. Lots of casual charm, pleasant staff. No elevator no air conditioning but if you don't need those features it offers a good value and a break from the sameness of the chains.
