“This historic coaching house clearly has a lot to offer those who appreciate period properties. The uniquely decorated executive suites and award-winning pies are a high point. However, some smaller rooms appear to fall short of the mark, especially with modern expectations.”

The location was fine. I did not have any issues with it.

The breakfast was a sad state of affairs. It barely reached lukewarm temperatures. The quality seemed questionable. The curtains did not block light, so the street light made sleep impossible.
