“With excellent food and a welcoming staff, this is a very tempting countryside escape; some rooms offer particularly peaceful garden views. Though some may find aspects of the bathrooms a bit dated, the restaurant alone could be worth the trip. It's a solid choice, especially if true hospitality is a priority.”

A Balanced Experience

granola choicehelpful stafffurnished roomstair climbshower controloverhead lighting

The breakfast offered several choices. I especially enjoyed the granola and found it good I could purchase some from the shop. The staff was very helpful (a rare find these days). The rooms were well-furnished, and the garden offered a relaxing experience.

My room required me to climb stairs. The shower controls proved difficult to adjust. The overhead lighting could not be fully turned off and this bothered me.
