Great stay, excellent food

beautiful sceneryexcellent choicetasty mealsinconsistent pressure
The location offers beautiful scenery. Breakfasts were a set menu that provided plenty of energy for the day. Evening meals had good choice and were tasty. I would highly recommend this place.
I noticed the room looked dated and could use some refreshing. The shower had inconsistent pressure and temperature. Some general upkeep and maintenance would greatly improve the facilities.

Quiet Stay with Good Food

local producethoughtful touchshower pressure
the breakfast was a highlight with excellent produce from a local butcher. even though i missed breakfast some mornings, the staff provided me with a packed lunch instead. i appreciated this thoughtful touch and the care taken with my meals.
the shower pressure and temperature fluctuated frequently it made showering a bit difficult. this could definitely use some attention to improve the experience. i hope this can be addressed soon for future visitors.
