lovely stay, will definitely return!

i found the staff very kind and supportive. they accommodated my requests. the bed provided the most comfort i have experienced in years of travel. the family "feel" present throughout my stay made it very special.
the room i stayed in was a bit small. it had everything needed. however, there was a strange smell in the bathroom. it needs some ventilation.

adequate, but some issues

decent selectionnoisy roominsecure door
the breakfast included a decent selection and was a bonus.
The room was on the ground floor near the road, a terrible location. i heard a lot of noise from cars and people passing. It disrupted my sleep all night. the door also seemed to not lock properly from the inside, a security concern
