Very clean, upscale design, lovely grounds and excellent location. Small refrigerator, in the room, but no coffee maker. They offer a nice breakfast area, near the office which is accessible and has coffee. They provided fresh croissants, in a bag hanging on our door in the morning, which was a nice touch.

Walking distance to the town, little shops, restaurants and cafes. They do not do early check ins or late check outs. There’s continental breakfast and they give you pastry’s at your door after dinner.

Not worth the price. Bed was awful, lumpy and woke up in pain from the bed. Door didnt close to bathroom. Just not worth it. Breakfast was a joke, someone left half a bagel..
