Great location and fabulous staff

The Inn is in a wonderful location in Victoria.It's really lovely to be able to walk to Beacon hill park and to see the old buildings in the area and hear the horses going down the street. The restaurant is also family, friendly and has a good range of food options. The staff were really helpful when someone in my party became ill. The only thing I would say is that the suite that we stayed in was spacious and light, but needs a little updating.
