The esthetic felt like we were stepping back into revolutionary days. The Inn was so charming and beautiful! The restaurant and wine bar was also exceptional! The staff was also incredibly warm and kind, they seem to truly love where they work!

The pillows were a tad bit flat, but I usually sleep with several pillows.

"Not great"

3.0

The location was good and we had an excellent shower.

The walls are paper thin and consequently the room was VERY NOISY from other guests throughout the night. The onsite car park is reserved for the staff - there is another across the road and down the opposite street or street parking.

Food in the pub. .Didn't eat in restaurant. Pub food was not good. Worst clam chowder ever. Sorry but the that is the truth.
