Review summary

Summarized by AI from 200+ reviews · Last updated: 8 Sept 2025

This historic coaching inn, renowned for its character and central location in a charming town, offers a memorable stay for guests. Its unique appeal lies in its blend of historical charm and modern comfort, making it an excellent choice for sightseers eager to explore the area and couples seeking a quaint getaway. The hotel is also notably dog-friendly, accommodating furry companions with special amenities. While many guests appreciate the hotel's distinctive features, some note the presence of steep stairs and occasional noise levels due to the building's age. To enhance your experience, consider bringing earplugs if you are a light sleeper, and be prepared for the charming, albeit sometimes challenging, staircases.
