Mill Street Inn

Mill Street Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Relaxed stay, large open plan room and breakfast delivered to your room allows you privacy or option to take out if sightseeing. Room top terrace a bonus to see sunset. Parking in basement as well as outside was useful. Nice decor and central to walking to Wharfs and shopping. Could not ask for more."
