“The Georgian building certainly has charm, and the promise of cooked-to-order breakfast is appealing. The bar seems lively enough, but some experiences appear inconsistent. I'd say it's worth considering if you're seeking a historical ambiance, just be sure to inquire about potential events beforehand.”
