“My exploration revealed a thoroughly modernized country inn, where comfortable rooms with well-appointed bathrooms and excellent linen contribute to a restorative stay. The inviting atmosphere extends outdoors to a beautiful garden, a welcoming spot for a quiet drink or a meal, complemented by genuinely friendly and efficient staff. It strikes me as a place that balances its historic charm with a clear attention to guest comfort and good food.”
