I found the staff to be very cute, and the room was both large and comfortable. The food impressed me with its really good quality. Service was prompt, and the open fire added a cozy touch. Breakfast was a good highlight.
I noticed the wardrobe had only two hangers, insufficient for two guests during a five-night stay.

The breakfast was delicious! I had the eggs Florentine, cooked perfectly with fresh spinach and Portobello mushrooms. Staff members were very helpful when I needed assistance with hosing down my dog. They promptly provided a hose for our use, saving me a lot of hassle.
My room was quite compact. The shower control offered only hot or hotter settings, difficult to adjust for a comfortable temperature.
