Trevor, Sep 2023
Pros (+) An historic, 300 year old, building with a superb host and very comfortable and (classically) stylish room. Right opposite Goat Island Park and the bay.
Cons (-) The property was perfect for us but some visitors (possibly Americans) could be put off by the 7 minute walk to the downtown area. Being English this wasn’t a problem in any way for us though - in fact it was a benefit !
