Delightful discovery. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality and assistance. The rooms are large and lovely; the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and the price is reasonable. Hope to return another time. A. & B. R. from Canada (Ontario) more

I think this is the sort of place you either love or hate, depending on what you are looking for in a place to stay. As others have said, the beds were comfy, the rooms were spacious, the breakfasts were delicious and John was a friendly and helpful host. And it was clean, which is of course crucial.

Breakfasts are hearty and alternate between a hot and cold offering. Both are good, and the atmosphere is convivial. John offers his extensive knowledge of the "ins and outs" of... more
