Clearly the folks here are working hard to bring this lovely old inn back to life. A few kinks to be worked out, but we enjoyed our night there. The food in restaurant was very good, if a bit limited on item availability.

The service is amazing, they're all so friendly. The kitchen is excellent and there are often events in the hotel going on. On my arrival they had live music by local bands. Felt home in the area immediately. Don't be fooled by the 2-star rating, it's a simple facility but with everything else, they're a 4-star for me!
