10/10 Exceptional

Careful thought was given to preserve the feel of the original when rebuilt after the fire. We felt in a way as if we had stepped back in time..yet lacked nothing of modern comforts. Unique and romantic! Excellent service, the complementary breakfast was truly the best we have ever experienced.
