Hotel is full of character and charm. If you want 21st century amenities stay at a Holiday Inn. If you want a memorable place, stay here.

Very low headroom in room 16

Staff really nice and efficient. Room was nice but bathroom was dated with a very noisy Victorian full toilet, and the room had beams and was small with very little headroom. Couldn’t get head under shower as it had to be positioned lower due to low ceiling.
