Overall, the room was lovely and clean, although there were a few scuff marks that needed touching up. There is a nearby place for breakfast recommended by the hotel that is good, but most shops and restaurants are closed in the evening making dinner difficult. If you need a stop in the area, it is well worth booking for a night.

Beautiful, traditional-style inn. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Only drawback is that most dining options in the area close quite early (by 8pm), so plan accordingly!
