Very cute, clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Easy check in and out. Good location too. The issue I had was that the internet was not strong enough to hold a video call which was for work. Kept kicking me off Zoom. Good reliable internet, especially for this level of accommodation seems basic nowadays. Also I don’t recommend staying the basement room because the upstairs footsteps are loud and annoying.

A lovely place to stay

We loved the bigger room (Whiskey) for a little extra space. The room was nicely decorated and the fireplace added a cozy touch. What we were most impressed about was the service we got when one of lamps was missing the light bulb. The lamp itself actually didn't work so they tracked down a replacement lamp for us. That was definitely going above and beyond. The ice and water in the fridge was also helpful. Lastly, the breakfast voucher worked well and it was nice to get what we wanted. I would definitely recommend the Fiddler's Inn.
