Fine for a one night stay
Pros:

The location was excellent. The bedroom was clean and well furnished. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The access was narrow, steep and awkward. Maybe to be expected in a medieval building. The lack of breakfast or any snacks in the room was a disappointment especially as the hotel serves lunch and evening meals.
