    Hosts could not have been friendlier. They went beyond the call of duty. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble to them. My wife and I felt we were treated like royalty at times. So many little extras made our stay at The Old Bank memorable. ...
  • Stuart

    A beautifully restored former bank offering superb service, great food and personable hosts. A refreshing change from the corporate bland approach of most hotel chains.
