I had a lovely stay at the Old Parsonage Hotel, enjoying the charming and cozy environment, plus the wonderful attentiveness of the staff. However, our room was on the smaller side and offered a view of the car park, which was a bit disappointing for what we paid. The overall experience was quaint, but I felt it quite costly for the value received, especially with breakfast not included.
