The property is lovely and well-maintained, quiet and peaceful. It’s a bit out of the way, not walkable to town or shops. Lovely views from balconies. Room was dated but clean with good amenities. The bed could be comfier - thin blanket and bedspread. The breakfast was a bit limited but good, including delicious quick breads made by the owner. The front staff are wonderful.
