Amazing place! Spotlessly clean, beautifully renovated, and in a great location. I can’t fault anything about it.

Beautiful, traditional-style inn. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Only drawback is that most dining options in the area close quite early (by 8pm), so plan accordingly!

The accommodation was 5star and really delivered on all levels. Would stay again and will recommend it to others.
Priscilla, 1-night trip

We loved our stay at the Vicarage- the room was impeccably presented, very comfortable and quiet. The location is great, we walked everywhere, and the shop/food store behind was a bonus.
Ross, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of the few available accommodations in the area with actual Hotel flair and not an AirBnB. The rooms are renovated with brand new bathrooms. Everything's clean and there is free coffee, tea, milk and even port. Barker's estery for breakfast right next door is icing on the cake.

Treat yourself to this gem

A real gem, wonderful place to stay. Beautifully restored old home. Remodeled from the ground up so it works impeccably as a boutique hotel.
