Fabulous property with modern upgrades and a touch of old-world charm. Bed is comfortable, plenty of plugs, bathroom is immaculate. Having the restaurant/pub on site made dinner easy to plan. We had the food in the restaurant two nights in a row and it was delicious. Breakfast options were more like a continental breakfast (not included in room fee). Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly.
