    I enjoyed my stay, particularly the delicious homemade breakfast and the welcoming atmosphere provided by the hosts. my room was darker than expected with limited natural light, which could be improved. It was a short walk to local attractions, making it a convenient choice for visitors.

    Fantastic hosts and breakfasts!

    Just spent 2 nights in a cozy junior suite. Helen and Peter were super welcoming. they really made our stay special! Breakfast was a highlight with lots of choices, and the fresh-cooked meals were top-notch. Only thing, the parking can be a bit tight at times, so plan ahead.

    Can recommend for an overnight stay

    Exceptional location, exceptional service, with a small fridge in the room containing fresh milk and bottled water, and a breakfast that offered the most variety we have ever seen for a B & B hotel including homemade muesli and cakes.

    There was nothing I didn't like.
