Hotel cute and quaint. Limited parking spaces. Great pub restaurant below hotel good food. Room cozy. TV service did not work properly. Service quite bad with house keeping. Last day Xmas Called for late checkout regulars check out 12:00 They gave until 12:30. At 10:30 cleaning maid knocked on the door to do room. We said no need and placed a do not disturb written note on the door handle from there after every 15min cleaning maid came knocking until 12:00. We ended up checking out at 12 as required. Was a very unpleasant experience.
