Superb Hospitality and Convenient Location

The breakfast offered a wide selection and variety.. it catered to differing tastes. The hosts were lovely and very friendly people who were knowledgeable about the area. I noticed many little extras in the room, we were comfortable and had all we needed.

The single bed positioned next to the wall should be rotated. The side where someone sits is more worn, so it feels like you are falling off the side of the bed.
