This property is very welcoming. Beautiful furnishings and rooms. Extremely neat, clean and tidy. This is not like any ordinary English pub. Staff very friendly and breakfast was great. We were very pleasantly surprised by this venue.

Almost perfect
Almost the perfect place. Unfortunately the staff were banging doors at 05:45. Then they were wheeling things up and down the cobblestones at 6:45. Everything else was amazing.
