    Breakfast was great. We enjoyed everything but getting access to their internet. My Google account treated it as a hacking attempt and caused several issues.

    The staff was awesome. Our overall experience could not have been better. You would think that due to the age of the building it would be a bit run down and depressing but the exact opposite is the true. The true charm of the Inn is the old world...
