    Fantastic location. This lovely inn combines old-world charm with fully modern levels of facilities and service. The service was exceptional - friendly and welcoming. We loved our spacious room and liked having a bath as well as a shower. Food was superb - dinner was lovely, good choices (including for vegetarians), reasonably priced, high quality. Breakfast was everything we would wish for - lots of choice, veggie options, fresh, well cooked, friendly service. We will definitely be back.
