Pros: Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful building and town in Victorian Style - like going back in time. Terrific food and breakfast!
Cons: Hannah's Hideaway room was noisy window next to dumpster noise late after kitchen closed and again early morning when garbage pickup arrived. No airconditioning, so had to have window open and no outlet available for floor fan. Too many steps to second floor.

Pros: The desk clerk was especially helpful, efficient informative and friendly. The food in the restaurant was very good. The pub is beautiful, the restaurant is spacious and the waitstaff friendly and efficient. The overall condition of the hotel is less than perfect, because its over 100 years old, but that's part of its charm. The owner of the hotel was very accessible, he was in the pub when we checked in, and in the restaurant the following morning when we had breakfast. If you had a complaint you could just walk up to him and tell him.
Cons: We were upgraded to a room with a larger bed, but found that the upgraded room was red. I hate red decor and the room I reserved was more tastefully decorated. However, it was late and it wasn't important enough to ask for another room. The room was equipped with a tiny 24 inch TV.

Pros: VI is a beautiful, historic Inn with great service and comfortable beds. It is located right in the heart of the village, so everything is easily walkable. The restaraunt in the Inn was fantastic!
Cons: Many if the shops were only open 11-5, which left our evening a little too quiet.

Pros:
Cons: Accessability is quite a problem..the considerable stairs to the first floor were a serious challenge and no porterage other than the check in person. I have a knee problem and this challenge was very painful. Would not book there again for this reason. The stair challenge stopped us from going out to wander around the town sightseeing.

Pros: The staff that were around were very polite and helpful.
Cons: Seriously understaffed. The staff that were there were very good but there aren't enough of them. Breakfast server (just one) running around all the tables, nobody at reception in the morning 9am when we wanted to check out, one person in bar in the evening. And it closes at 9pm - I'm on holiday I don't want to go to bed at 9pm! A sign in the bathroom telling us that the water heaters are shared between rooms so don't use too much hot water. Needs updating I want to have a shower when I want not when it's convenient for my neighbours.

Pros: Great central location.
very comfortable rooms.
Cons: Service in the restaurant was very slow, both for dinner and breakfast. We waited until after later orders had been served to ask about our orders. Staff checked and got the kitchen attending to our orders. Dinner took over 2 hours to complete and we missed looking round the town before the sun went down. Breakfast similarly delayed our departure and our look at the town in the morning further delayed our day. Compared to the rest of this establishment, the food service was appalling.
Cons: Be warned: there is a 26 step staircase leading to the rooms with NO elevator. There is also no air conditioning. Only on street parking. Very small flat screen tv

Pros: The atmosphere of the hotel is traditional and stylish.
The bar is classic and the restaurant menu and food is first class.
Even the drink of the day - a mango mule - was excellent.
The experience was capped off with a very comfortable bed.
The host and staff were very welcoming.
Cons: There was a continual hum from a exhaust outside the room window which may have effected just the room we had. Nevertheless I would certainly return.

Pros: Beautiful building with quaint Victorian decor. Small but adequate room. Lovely large and light filled bath. Good breakfast. Also had dinner, which was excellent.
Cons: As other reviewers noted, the steep stairs make for quite a chore getting luggage to the room. Our host did not hesitate to help us with it. I too was a little put off by the jewelry cases in what should have been the lobby.
