While the building has character, everything is in need of a refresh, especially the men's bathroom. I am happy to share bathroom facilities, but didn't realise it was a shared bathroom between many rooms. One toilet and a shower is not sufficient for the amount of guests staying. Room was clean, but the bed was very wonky.

Loved the style of an old-world Hotel, sitting outside on a balmy summer evening with my wife and other guests combined with great food and wine made for a highly enjoyable stay. Sally and Chris went out of their way to provide excellent genuine hospitality

Rooms are small but enough for one night. There is not a kitchen just a kettle with tea. Kettle is in the room as well. To get water and wash your cup you have to go to toilet. Too expensive for what you get, but hotel looks nice. It's like it says an old building.

Property is old and beautiful, but needs a lot of improvements. There was no staff available during our stay. Men’s bathroom was awkward with doors not locking properly and female bathroom was remodeled but the shower pressure was poor in one stall. The entire place was dark and dreary with musty smells. The place would benefit from a complete remodel.

Lovely old building but poorly appointed accommodation and poorly maintained. Friendly obliging owners but hardly ever around. Very nice restaurant downstairs that operates from Wednesday to Sunday. It closes early at 8:30 9:00 p.m. so no bother with noise level. Fabulous location. All day parking only available in side streets nearby. Amenities and facilities are not as mentioned - very poor quality. Best to bring everything that you may need for a more comfortable stay. It's hard to see how this accommodation gets three stars -perhaps it's because of the location.

We enjoy staying at this property it is conveniently located, it is in its original state, so be mindful the bathroom is in the hallway and shared by all guests. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable.

We booked our room on Wotif, and upon arrival we found no one at the desk around 5 PM, so we contacted the number tied to the booking for Sally to figure out which room and key was ours. She promptly texted us the room number, but there was no envelope for the room we were assigned. Eventually after calling/texting Sally back multiple times with no answer, we found the key in the returned room key basket and saw that the room was not cleaned. We continued calling/texting Sally with no answer. We ended up having to find another hotel 45 minutes away. Wotif could also not reach the hotel to help us get a room or a refund. Sally texted us 2 hours after we attempted to check in and get help to ask if we needed any help. After we updated her on us having to stay somewhere else, both her and Wotif failed to get us a refund despite us not being provided the accommodation that we paid for. Side note: the restaurant was not open at this time either even though the hours posted on google and at the restaurant itself said it would be.
