We really enjoyed our nights stay and we would come back, just might ask for a different room.
Pros:

We loved the old building with lots of character and tastefully decorated, everything about the breakfast was very good, plenty of buffet options and juice and our fried breakfast was very good, freshly cooked and tasty. Our room was snug but very comfortable and everything we needed and the bathroom was great with a nice big shower. The town was lovely and plenty of option for dinner.

Cons:

The stairs, we were up two flights which wasn’t perfect but no major factor, and we had a busy road side room, the room was very warm so we had to open the window which meant traffic noise.
