A charming stay with character

spacious roomboutique accentsbasic shower

The room was spacious, it included thoughtful boutique accents. The building's history dating back to 1814, added character. i appreciated the easy access off the main road and ample parking just outside. The host provided the access code via text on the day of check-in. This was very convenient.

The shower was basic, it delivered only a trickle of water. I think upgrading the showerhead could improve the experience significantly.
