Staff was very friendly and while there is no food on the property, there are many establishments within walking distance. They have a great bar downstairs and we had a great time hanging out and listening to the many local musicians who wandered in and played. One of the highlights of our trip!

Very unique property, close to a diverse array of dining options. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are a wee bit on the tiny side, with winding stairs to get to them, but the staff does offer to help with your bags. Most importantly, they were clean.The complimentary sack breakfasts left at our door were perfect. The bar area was neat and staff very friendly there as well. Parking wasn't easy to get to, but worked out fine.

The room and areas were fine. The reception was poor. It would have been wonderful if someone would have been at reception or at the pub area to greet us when we arrived. And if we could have left our bags while seeing the town.

Nice stop for the night

There is no elevator and the stairs were a bit steep so beware that. The “wee pub” next to the larger pub is marvelous with a nice wood stove. We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet pint in the wee pub. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had a nice soaking tub. Easy to walk to local sights.

Great location and amazing staff. Just be prepared to park offsite and carry luggage up stairs. Other than that, the place had an amazing location and we had zero issues with sounds being right above a pub.
