8/10 Good
"Good location. Great soft bed. Would have been perfect if the room had a microwave and there was more than 1 washer/deyer"

10/10 Excellent
"This was a historic stay. We loved the tiny details and felt like we had stepped back in time to a Jane Austen novel. Highly recommend for people who love old mansions. I taught my daughters about encyclopaedias - the google of yore - and we also loved watching the spirit of Tasmania berth. "
