We loved staying there! The bed was a bit springy and the water still ran in the tub when the shower was turned on. The lever that converts the tub water stream to the shower water stream wasn’t working very well. Really very minor issues! The hotel was SO clean and beautiful. All the staff was so friendly! I will be staying there again and would absolutely recommend it!

Really liked the vibe of this property. The rooms were a perfect size and our balcony had a great view of the sunrise.

It was quiet and serene. Located just far enough from the hustle and bustle areas with people. My room overlooked the front of the property. It was cozy. I also love the various sitting areas inside and outside on the long porch. I love how Well Bread Bakery is right across the street and the entire village/town is small enough to walk around in under 30 mins. It’s like a hidden secret. Definitely recommend if you want to get away for solitude.

Ephraim at the front desk was extremely helpful, kind and patient. Was willing to adjust our reservation for us to help us stay the second night. Thank you!

Pleasant but overpriced
This is a small property which does not have someone permanently available on reception desk. Communication wasn’t easy.
Pleasant staff and nice rooms but somewhat overpriced for the quality.
