We enjoyed sitting on the porches/patio. Cushions on all seats would enhance the experience. Some repairs and paint would also help. Our room and bathroom were beautiful and very clean.

A beautiful, quaint hotel in a lovely area. The food was fantastic! Our evening meal was delicious and served in a relaxed but beautiful dining room. All the staff were extremely helpful but Alicia and Amy made our stay extra special with their conversation and friendliness. Our room was very clean with all amenities but next time we would book a bigger room. We would definitely recommend The Charles Hotel. 5 mins walk into town, free parking and amazing staff!!!
