We stayed in two family rooms with 6 kids and 2 adults altogether. This hotel has been in business since 1747 and we were thrilled with the history, the coziness of the hotel, the staff friendliness is second to none. And the breakfast was incredible. We were pleased. Obviously renovated for modern conveniences, but I felt like it was a vintage boutique inn and I loved it and would definitely stay again.

The hotel is currently very ‘tired’ looking. However, the amazing staff more than make up for this. The rooms were very warm and spacious. Plus as it’s in the centre of town, it’s next to everything.
