“I stayed just one night and it was lovely from start to finish. Friendly staff, great food, and helpful recommendations. The room was a good size and recently updated, with tea, a hearty breakfast, and a comfy extra chair. The on-site restaurant is in a great spot and guests get a discount there. I enjoyed the nearby restaurants too.”
