Nice hotel but haunted for sure
The hotel is very nice and the room was lovely. My only complaint was a noisy fridge in the room and bizzarre as.you may think, there was a ghostly pressence in my room which freaked me out slighy. If you like parranormal experiences, try room 202

Just a lovely little hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay here very much. Good food-we dined in on the night of our arrival-and a very good breakfast as well. The bed was lovely and super comfortable and we very much appreciated the towel warmer as the weather was super wet when we arrived. Would definitely recommend.

I had good preconceptions about what I might find for a one night stay. The preconceptions proved true ~ everything was as I had wished. Unconditionally recommended !
