Hotel was interesting and quaint. I can see why people like staying here. Accommodation was good, breakfast was first class, and the staff were excellent in the restaurant. One slight observation - the receptionist could have been more attentive to people waiting at the reception desk. Would stay again and recommend S.Winder
