“In my opinion, the intimacy of this boutique hotel, with its limited number of rooms, cultivates a uniquely charming atmosphere. I appreciate the central Picton location, placing guests moments from local shops and amenities. I also noted the welcome wine and cheese plate as a standout gesture, and I also like the fact that you can start your day with their satisfying breakfast.”
