Room and adjacent living room were great and cool antique furnishings. Food at restaurant was delicious for dinner. Breakfast was okay. Staff extremely nice and accomodating. Loved the huge footed tub. Not crazy about the trucks going by our bedroom window on the main road. Might be good to reconfigure so bed on other side of wall and seating area on the street side.

The decor was carefully restored to an early 1900 era. The staff was friendly. We were not aware that our room would be across the road but the key issue was that our suite (Seddon) had a musty smell more pronounced in the main area . We were not able to use that room and kept the bedroom door closed.

Pleasant stay in a quirky suite decorated with Victorian fixtures and fittings. Spacious rooms with all mod cons. Good pub food although continental breakfast was over priced. Worth the stay for the nostalgic atmosphere.
