    Breakfast was excellent. Personally loved the muesli and great self-serve coffee. Fish & chips, bangers, etc. all very good. The historical building had some challenges, but not bad considering it first started service 500 years ago. Very clean....

    I had a room with bath (not shower) as requested - really appreciated. Very welcoming and friendly staff.
