Garden, terrace, and outdoor fireplace

A bar with character
The on-site bar is a focal point for the property, and the inn periodically features temporary art galleries within its spaces — a detail that gives the interiors more personality than a typical hotel common area.

- Stairs difficult to navigate, especially with luggage
- Thin walls in the back/annex building
- Minor maintenance issues: peeling ceiling paint, worn bathroom grout, dusty ceiling fan
- Charging for wine at the promoted reception felt incongruous
- Room amenities lacking: no in-room coffee, limited storage, small closet with no hangers
“Best customer service I've ever experienced at a hotel, inn, or B&B. Beautiful rooms, common areas, and gardens. Fantastic location. Walking distance from most sites.”
“I didn't like the fact that a wine reception was promoted but you had to pay for the wine. Why have free and frankly over the top hors d'ouvres and charge people for a mediocre glass of wine.”
“The breakfast was elegant and felt special. I loved the pillows, sheets and towels!! I slept the best I had in weeks.”
“It is such an old building that I'm sure it is difficult to keep it pristine. There was peeling paint on the ceiling and the grout in the bathroom could use some help.”
“Had to request everything — ice, towels which had nowhere to store as no shelves or space for toiletries; closet too small with no hangers.”
