Fantastic, historic inn in a great location and with ghost stories and historic tales aplenty involving all parts of the building. A couple of lovely lounges for residents only and an old world bar with plenty of drink options, including 3 well chosen real ales, and the largest fireplace I have ever seen. Charlie who runs the bar is chatty and charismatic and an asset to this part of the Inn. All the staff were very welcoming and nicely relaxed; a welcome difference from large chain hotels I visit.
