Perhaps our favorite accommodation we’ve stayed at. An unbelievably charming cottage, extremely friendly staff, delicious breakfast and complimentary wine, easy parking, along with being close walking distance to downtown make this place special. We cannot wait to come back.

We had such a pleasant stay here! The place was impeccably clean, and you literally had everything you needed. I had to ask for an extra blanket, and it was brought to me right away. The breakfast was delicious and the snacks were great and even had some gluten free options. The young lady at the front desk was an absolute sweetheart, helpful and so knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely stay here again. The only downside was that the Inn Keeper was not that friendly and definitely did not give a warm welcoming "vibe" so that was a bit disappointing. However, it is still one of my favorite places I've stayed!
