This small, boutique inn has only a few rooms so guests are almost guaranteed peace and quiet. The only thing I would add would be to have hot, caffeinated coffee in the informal living room. And perhaps a little more heat. The staff are congenial and accommodating: all good!

The room was comfortable but seemed hastily cleaned. The smell of a deodorizer was overwhelming. Had to keep the windows open the entire time to air it out.
