This was a lovely place to stay. Really appreciated the fireplace being on when we arrived. The room was well laid out and very clean. Only complaint was the scaffolding around the place (was not noisy though).

We were super impressed with the room . The view of fernery and the wild birds that were within arms reach while enjoying a glass of red on the back deck was truly special. Thank you so much for a wonderful relaxing comfortable stay. Located walking distance to Main Street and restaurants but still peaceful.
