Positive: A real gem of a place. The hotel is soaked in history but wears it lightly and the town is a nice location. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable. All good.
Negative: Not really a criticism, but because we were stopping over on a Sunday, the restaurant and bar were shut. There are plenty of places to eat in town, but many stop serving food before 6.00, regardless of what their websites say. We eventually ate at Spice Club. Highly recommend.
