FABULOUS stay!
local ingredientswide varietyplush armchairslocal walks
The breakfast REALLY stood out. It included locally sourced ingredients and had a wide variety! My room had a seating area. It featured plush armchairs and a small coffee table. Parking was easy. I always found a space available. The staff offered suggestions for local walks. They even provided maps.
The shower pressure was slightly lower than I prefered. Though it was minor.
