Fantastic Old Building that the staff are doing there best to maintain, but you can see some of the age here and there. But overall charming. Ran out of some key food items while we were there forcing us to eat out. Which was a mistake as some nearby restaurants were so good once samples there was no question of eating in house again. The main think was the staff overall was brilliant and the bar first class. Would stay again and highly recommend!
