Beautiful old hotel with the best bedroom we've ever stayed in. Massive comfortable 4 poster bed. Don't expect modernity in the room, as that is not its charm, but it's lovely. Staff are excellent as well and the food is good in the restaurant

Hotel would have been amazing if it was not for the broken hot water for 2 days and the low water pressure.. And no other availability as we were told it was full.. And no compensation...
