The Caledonian is an interesting old pub, but the rooms are near the outside beer garden so the music was able to be heard until late on Friday and Saturday nights. The staff were excellent.

Property centrally located & within short walking distance to local attractions. Pub & Restuarant attached. Very comfortable bed & brilliant water pressure from shower head. Would benefit further by supplying a microwave in each room.

We absolutely loved our two night stay. The motel rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The Inn has just had some renovations and everything is great. The pub is from 1844 so interesting to see. Very nice pub meals are served. The staff are very nice. When you arrive checkin is in the Inn's bar.
