This was a great stay for our weekend birthday celebration. The rooms were clean and quaint. There could have been a little space in them. Bathrooms were great. Shower was terrible. The water pressure was awful. I wiuld have loved to have a microwave or even an ice bucket. Overall, not bad.

Staff could use a lesson in hospitality
I was very surprised by how rude the staff were after seeing other guest reviews. I was given the wrong room type to what I booked, and it was made out to be my fault as I booked through hotels.com rather than directly through the hotel website. Staff would rather argue with me about setting up the second bed in the room than apologise and try to rectify the situation. Made me feel really uncomfortable and even though the hotel rooms themselves were fine I couldn’t wait to leave the property
