    I think that the pub and inn have lots of local charm. It is fun to stay around there. The bed was also extremely comfortable. I look forward to coming back in the future!

    Nice place, a little dated but clean. Great location, close to everything in town. Very good food in the restaurant. No air conditioning but windows opened. No USB charging port in the room but there is one in the restaurant area.
