What People Say

Guests love the historic charm and peaceful setting, often calling it a “hidden gem” for relaxing stays. Reviewers consistently mention the friendly hosts, clean and comfortable rooms, and the delicious breakfast – all adding up to a memorable stay.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that it’s a bit remote, so having a car is helpful for getting to venues or restaurants. Also, with a check-out time of 10:00, a late sleep-in after a concert might be cut a bit short – though the charming surroundings help ease the early start.
