A lovely place to stay; clean, charming, and convenient, it was a welcome place to come back to after a day out. The breakfast was superb, and the care which we received throughout our visit was much appreciated.
Lucas was a great host and the breakfast was made to order. This place has been around forever and things are dated but nothing that would discourage me from staying here again.
A wonderful facility, lovely breakfast and way way more than you would expect in every catagory.

This is an old inn but everything is clean and functioning, for the price you're comparing to bad strip mall chain hotels. The room was GIANT, we had a fire in our room and the service at breakfast is great.
The place is lovely and the staff were great . The breakfast was delicious and the room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We were greeted and welcomed by Lucas who was most helpful. Would stay there again!
