attentive staff lovely view quirky building comfortable bed
I stayed for two nights and found the staff attentive. the room, raleigh, offered a lovely view. the building itself was quirky, full of character. the bed was comfortable.
the sole downside was some noise i heard from the kitchen, though i acknowledge this is often part of staying in such a central location.

Fantastic Anniversary Getaway

warm welcome delicious meal homemade fudge
The staff offered warm welcome on arrival, even late at night. We enjoyed a delicious meal after we checked in. The next morning featured a breakfast with high quality products. Upon checking out, we received a gift bag. It contained water and some homemade fudge.
The room decor included marine themes and cosy lighting, which I loved. the room was a bit small. The space was limited. I think future guests may want a larger room option. It was not a terrible experience, but something to note.

The staff showed me to my room with a warm welcome. the room was bright, warm, and clean. Details such as ample tea, coffee, water, and cookies were lovely. bathroom products were plentiful. Every detail was so thoughtfully considered.
the website mentioned possible noise from adjoining rooms, though this was due to the kitchen. i heard significant noise from the kitchen, open from breakfast until late evening! this was sometimes disconcerting.
