Although the guest rooms are quite clean and comfortable, a few of the guests have whispered that the decor is a little dated and that the inn could do with a refurbishment drive to update the look and also to give it back a sense of newness. Although the inn has many charming period features, there is a feeling that a renewal of decor and fixtures and fittings could enhance the charm and old-world look while maintaining a sense of modernity throughout.
The rooms on the front side of the house tend to pick up noise from the outside, which could be a problem for some guests. The trash collecting trucks roll by early in the morning as the inn is on a main route through the town.
Another minor complaint is that exposed water pipes in some of the rooms tend to make the rooms rather hotter than they should be.
