We were more than happy with our stay.
Pros:

Basic breakfast was included in the room cost. Cereal on the menu was just what I wanted. Location couldn't have been better in the centre of town and right by the river where we could go for pleasant walk.

Cons:

It wasn't a five star hotel but that's not what we wanted.

Beautiful hotel.
Pros:

The decor is very nostalgic of days gone by and beautifully presented.
Very comfy with everything you need.
The.manager took the time to map out a back road motorbike route for us to next destination.
Complimentary Continental brekkie was very good.

Cons:

Nothing really except the area is hilly and car park was a bit challenging to find when on a motorbike plus steep stairs if staying on upstairs level.

Evening meal. Breakfast set up plenty and perfect. Room a little small as we had luggage. But knew this as we only needed one night just perfect and with ensuite.
