Lovely inn & room. Especially loved that all floors in our room were laminate flooring vs. carpet — it felt so much cleaner! The room was spacious & well-appointed. The location was also ideal, with restaurants, pubs, shopping & other amenities all within easy walking distance. We’d definitely stay there again
