This is a beautiful hotel. The restaurant and the pubs were great. I wish we had more time to enjoy a movie in their theater. As a retired teacher, I also wish we had upgraded to spend the night in an original classroom.

The staff was wonderful and hot coffee just down the hall was thoughtful. I don’t know if there are tubs in any of the rooms although I did enjoy the soaking tub. Highly recommend this quirky hotel and restaurants and bars. Don’t miss the activities in the theater.

This place is as dark as a cave so if you stay here bring a headlamp. If you like 'quaint' places, this is for you. If you like well lit places, where you don't have to guess what they may be hiding with dark carpet and holiday bulb lighting, stay somewhere else. Sure the bar and onsite restaurant are convenient but no coffee maker in room and room the size of a broom closet don't make up for that. I applaud repurposing old buildings but please make them a bit more up to date.
