I had a fantastic albeit brief stay at the hotel. The rooms, although they can be noisy, exceeded my expectations. The price is a bit high for a B&B with continental breakfast, but overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Staying in the China room was a little on the high side for a B&B with continental breakfast, but my mate quickly cancelled his reservation upon learning of the murder of the Duke of Buckingham in the pub. Regardless, this turned out to be one of the best hotels we've ever been to.
