Lovely accommodation in a great location.
Pros:

Beautifully appointed suites. Extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Cons:

No lift in the building could be an issue, but we found the staff very accommodating, they carried our luggage from the car to our room on arrival and departure.

Pros:

The location was great. The restaurant served beautiful meals and the ambience was inviting.
The cellar was a great place to sit and relax.
Bed was comfy. Good sized room. Big bathroom.

Cons:

The floors were very creaky and as a result you could hear people moving around. I understand its an old building so I didn't mind too much.
The layout of the room didn't allow for a comfortable seating option to watch TV.
The balcony was a nice touch but unfortunately didn't give a great view, mainly rooftops.
