The complimentary refreshments and tablet in the room were very welcome. the decor demonstrated a loving restoration of the building's original style. i appreciated the bath being located directly in the bedroom. It gave a unique feel. the bed was also notably large and comfortable.

The breakfast, while charmingly served in small portions, might not suit guests accustomed to larger servings or those with hearty appetites. I desired a bit more food.
