charming stay!
comfy bedclean roomcoffee machinegood breakfast
we booked rooms for a getaway with friends. the beds were comfy, and our rooms were nice, clean spaces with good facilities like the coffee machine. the showers worked great. the included breakfast really was good. i had no complaints.
the stairs to the upper floors were a bit steep. while this was a small issue, it is worth mentioning for anyone with mobility concerns.
