Nice property! Not an abundance of seating in the bar area, but an excellent restaurant and friendly staff. Room was clean and well appointed. I like a hard bed, but it might have been a bit too much even for me. A really great stay overall!

The inn was lovely
Breakfast very good although another juice choice and the juice and water colder would have made a difference
The bedroom was also extremely warm even with the heating off
But all in all descent place
