Lovely little guesthouse-style inn. We like the communal lounge room and the range of bathrooms. The rooms are cosy with good bedding. Note that the restaurant closes by 6pm on Sundays and the café is not open on Monday, even on long weekends.

So happy I found this place! It’s very quaint! The Inn was very clean and well maintained. Staff is exceptionally friendly, and the coffee shop and restaurant were a great bonus. I would recommend that future patrons check out the Inn’s website to see what type of activities are going on as they do host events. I was not able to take advantage of this and really wish I had!!
