If you are looking for a hotel-chain like stay, this really isn't the place for you. If you are looking for a unique stay that's hassle free and is charming then this is the stay for you. As they state on their website -- its an old building and the presence of life can definitely be felt within it. From the laughter coming from the Duke of Dukeworth bar below my room window in the alley, to the hum of the restaurant below, to the man who slept in the other room that definitely needs a CPAP because I could hear him snoring through the wall, I loved the sense of life within the Duckworth's walls. I have stayed in a lot of places all over Europe and North America, but I cannot say that I've stayed in an inn above a bar. As someone who just took a medieval history course, I was absolutely thrilled.
Check in was seamless. I love the "let yourself in" style of accommodation (I really don't care to awkwardly stand at a counter while you type in what I already gave you online). I found my room and my key without any issues and all the instructions given via email were accurate. The room was clean, the bed was so comfortable and the inn is located in a great spot in town. I was headed for the airport in the morning, so an 11min drive was great. The parkade across the street was ~5$ overnight, reasonable and close to the building. I did not eat at the restaurant below as I had my sights set on other places, but when I come back to town I will definitely be staying again!
