Character!

Character-filled very old property. The stairs are wonky, the floor is creaky, and the night door (inset into a huge wooden door, which is closed at night) is tiny. In short, you can’t miss you staying in a 16-century house. But it is comfortable (beds, showers), the breakfast is delicious, and the staff friendly.

It's not every day you can say you stayed in a 16th century hotel. Of course getting to the room is tricky unless you have balance on wonky floors & stairs. But it's character features, bit of creaky floorboards. The room was fairly modern but was surprised no telephone which I needed. Had to shut the window to sleep to cut down outside noises but not totally. Food was good, restaurant was full, staff friendly. Unique experience.
