We stayed five nights in this grand old building, which has been lovingly restored to its original facade outside and with elegance inside. Pressed tin, high ceilings, bare brick with decorative partial plaster, deep baths, fire places (now gas) in dining areas, and a luxuriously comfortable bed all work to make for an excellent stay. All rooms are different, ours was large, had a private door to a huge shared balcony and overlooked the Main Street of small costal town off eden. Staff are happy and helpful and for three of our nights the room was made up with meticulous attention- I’ve never come across better- Lindt on the bed, spotless bathroom, everything replaced etc. The other two nights were done by a different staff member and this was quite average (missing washers, unwashed items, no refreshment refresh, no Lindt- no big deal but noticeable). The breakfast was lovely - a knockout for the price. No buffet here but a set price for house made granola, house made pastries (to die for), juice, coffee (real and delicious) and a hot course (all amazing, don’t miss the Irish full breakfast). The hotel is ⅖ through a major restore but you won’t notice. The dinner restaurant is next on the list. Currently some very nice bistro food is available (antipasto and pizza are excellent) and a full bar is open every afternoon/night. Snacks tea and coffee are available all day. Icing on the cake- there’s a lift so you don’t need to battle stairs as with many hotels of this type. A fabulous place- highly recommend.
