A perfect stay in a hotel that is nearly 200 years in operation.

Every aspect of our stay was perfect. Room 506 was newly refurbished. The breakfast was excellent. The location was perfect to take the excellent Aqua Terra boat trip that leaves from Knightstown.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

Bon acceuil , chambres propres , mais avec une vue horrible , le rapport qualité prix n'y est pas .

La vue de la chambre qui donne sur l'aération de la cuisine et en plus cela fait du bruit , la chambre est bien trop chère avec une vue pareil .

La posizione.

Deluso la colazione considerata la struttura mi aspettavo molto di più di un banale buffet di cereali yougurt e frutta non proprio fresca.

Stunning views

9.0

Beautiful hotel. Stunning views. The wait staff were exceptional, friendly & very attentive.

Room 509 seems to be over the kitchen vents. If you leave the window open the room smells of cooking. The hotel is stunning though and did not ruin our stay.
