Lovely historic hotel.

Only downside was vehicle noise (there were quite a few ‘cruisers’ with loud exhausts and a ridiculously loud Harley Davidson motorcycle driving past repeatedly, but all quietened down at about 10pm.

As it was Xmas I presume the staff were on leave and so the rubbish etc weren’t emptied and there wasn’t anything like bins available so we could dispose of them I guess it’s why our room was invaded with ants luckily it was only in the kitchen walls and floor and kitchen top while there was tea coffee available no milk offered and supply was only for one day else beds were comfy slept soundly and clean facilities
