“I found the dining here to be a real highlight, with a menu that thoughtfully accommodates dietary needs and a kitchen that clearly takes pride in its locally sourced ingredients. The rooms, while perhaps a touch antique for some, were comfortable and clean, providing a restful base with friendly, helpful staff always on hand. Its convenience for exploring the town and surrounding hills, coupled with easy parking, makes it a solid choice for a stopover.”
