Our stay was great. There is a very busy bar downstairs but the rooms were clean and quiet and nicely appointed. Parking was tight in the lot but we managed. A quick walk to The Old Schoolhouse for dinner- it was a great spot to stay before heading to the airport in morning.

We were initially very excited to stay at this hotel.. however, the pictures of the rooms and the one we got were entirely different. There wasn’t any stone feature wall in our room, there wasn’t even a window. The corners of the room and walls were extremely dusty where I had to wet a hand towel and wipe them down. I don’t think the room had been properly vacuumed in a while. At least the linens were clean and the washroom surfaces were decent. Overall, disappointed with the room at this hotel.

Very close to the airport (8-10 min). Hotel pub food was good (I really liked my pizza) and was easy to order online from the table or at the bar, then delivered hot to the table. Drinks were pretty inexpensive and coffee/tea/espresso in the morning was bottomless. Our room was very quiet. No window but a skylight that could open for a breeze and a shade that could be closed for darkness. The whole room looks like it had been recently updated and did have its own thermostat which was nice as we prefer cooler sleeping temps. Everything was clean. Parking out front was limited but we arrived early enough (2:30) so there were lots of spaces. Check in for the rooms is done at the bar. Overall, it was a quick night for us as we were heading for the airport early to return our rental but it was a good place to rest our weary bodies.

Great location and very convenient being over a bar and restaurant. Our room was located next to the beer garden area so it was quite noisy until about 1am. We had a flight in the morning so location was good to get to the airport early

I love the country inn vibe. I loved that there was a lift as I had a very heavy suitcase. The lift was quirky. Great selection of pub grub at reasonable prices which included a generous glass of wine. When checking out early morning, I was standing in front of the counter and my shoes were sticking to the floor. Probably a drink was spilled there but it did not give a good impression.

We loved The Old Borough experience. It was wonderfully restored. We loved the original fireplace in the room. Hospitality was very evident, as were thoughtful optional touches in place.

We’re not told about the lift so dragged our luggage up the stairs. When checking out we did take the lift and once down we couldn’t open the door. We were stuck in lift for 8-10 minutes until we were able to flag down someone walking by and they notified management…need better instructions!

Loved the decor. Pub downstairs definitely popular with locals and prices for food and drinks very affordable. Within walking distance of two historical sites (12th century castle and church). Lots of little shops and pubs within easy walking distance. Quiet and quaint. Operating the lift up to our room was a challenge and climbing into the deep tub in our room would be a problem for anyone with mobility issues but all good otherwise.
