Historic hotel with lots of charm and character. You are made to feel you are at home with access to the parlour and the garden, sun room etc. nice touches like drinks and evening cake.
A truly exceptional place on all fronts - beautifully decorated, full of history, wonderfully clean, every need anticipated and catered for. Owners are super lovely and it really is a wonderful place yo stay. There are a good number of restaurants in walking distance.
Amazingly beautiful hotel. Very historic, and more like a bnb then a hotel. Sherry and fruit bread in the parlor provided. Owner was very gracious. The garden was also open and delightful - went on a gnome hunt.
This property offered old style hospitality and the option of meeting fellow guests in a comfortable relaxed setting. The house was vintage in style and graciously furnished. Owners were friendly and knowledgeable.
We really enjoyed staying at Victoria House. A lovely old world house. Very comfortable room. Beautiful open fire in lounge room. Friendly and helpful host.
Nice old historical building. Has some nice sitting areas where you can read about the history of the building. Room is spacious and clean. Mandy has lots of information to share about the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It was a lovely place but walking in and getting a funny look from another guest wasnt a great welcome. Really close to all shops, pubs and cafes. Beds were a bit old and spongy, but otherwise a nice space.
Quaint 1853 property, recently revamped with original features. As described, this is a property with character, friendly owner, lounge area with log fire and access to a garden. Offered fruit cake and Port / Sherry upon arrival. Would recommend staying here.
