This property has a old world charm with convenient access to the main street. The staff are very helpful and provided great hospitality. The only draw back is off street parking which is always full outside the property.

A wonderful three night stay. Simonne looked after us so well, communicating with us prior to arrival, suggesting places and eateries to visit and providing all the niceties for breakfast complete with bubbly in the fridge and a cheese platter. The room was clean and we wanted for nothing. Highly recommended.
