The place was very well maintained and very quaint. The food was amazing - both dinners and breakfasts. The staff was friendly and helpful - we ran into a couple of them in the (very) little town when they were not working and they were very friendly.

This is a delightful boutique hotel with attentive staff and delicious food. We had a lovely experience in our clean and well-stocked room (water, coffee, tea, fan, robes). No washcloths were provided so bring your own. Will definitely stay here again if in the area.

Lovely bedroom and bathroom. We were very warm and comfortable. Would suggest install a small handrail when going up the two steps into the bathroom would be a great help for the less able bodied. Really enjoyed being there and hope to return.

The staff were uniformly lovely. The place was spotlessly clean and tasteful. The room was very small and very hot and there was very loud music coming from the kitchen immediately below until nearly midnight.
