A brilliantly quirky hotel that has been sympathetically restored to a high standard. A great to place to spend a day or two. Staff are very friendly and helpful - good choice at breakfast - we had an evening meal in the restaurant that we felt was over priced for the quality. A great weekend staying somewhere a bit different
