We had such an amazing stay. The hotel is in the perfect location, so much to see and explore in the little town. The breakfast was delicious, and lots of little extra details were provided, such as sparkling water for our drive. Lovely decor and helpful staff. The only thing we wish, is that we stayed longer. Highly recommend you stay here!
