noisy bar area incorrect dishes

the room had plenty of wardrobe space. it also had proper heating which was acceptable.

i booked a table weeks ago for a pre-theater meal in the restaurant, but upon arrival, the table was not ready. instead, we were seated in the very noisy bar area with people standing around, despite empty tables in the restaurant. the meals arrived incorrectly. Two dishes were completely wrong.

the staff welcomed us warmly and gave us advice about parking. the room was comfortable, there was nothing to complain about. i found the atmosphere very cute even though we did not spend time in the bar.

the music from the bar was audible until late. it was loud, difficult to fall asleep before midnight.

fantastic inn experience!

convenient location tasty food helpful staff

i loved how close it was to the train station! the pub downstairs had yummy food and the staff was so friendly and helpful, especially with getting a taxi when it rained. this little gem is now one of my all-time favorite places to stay!

The chargeable parking added a bit to the overall cost. Outside is not free so factor that.
