We would probably come back

Liked:Nice high ceilings and traditional style, well appointed and nice little comforts and shortbread in the bedrooms. Lots of yummy warm towels. Staff courteous and helpful.

Disliked:Our mattress was a bit hard and not comfortable. A walk-in shower would be much safer and more acceptable.
