Wonderful Stay in a Beautiful Setting
friendly staffroom upgradeexcellent food
The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room upgrade was a pleasant surprise. The food for both breakfasts and dinners was excellent considering the price. I especially enjoyed the good range of non-alcoholic drinks offered in the garden.
The low sloping beams on the top floor made it difficult to move around without bumping my head at night.

I found the staff accommodating and friendly. Nothing was like too much trouble. the history of this gem is palpable, and i appreciated the attention to detail. the breakfast was plentiful. It gave a good choice and the freshly made yogurt compote stood out. i enjoyed walks around the woods located behind the inn.

Acceptable Stay. Some Issues

The staff helped with parking and luggage. I guess that was fine.
I had issues with the steep stairs. They were quite difficult to manage. It would have been better if there was more accessible access.
