Absolute Gem! Welcoming, friendly, helpful host. Excellent well furnished, clean, comfortable room. Lovely breakfast with good selection, served by a friendly & super efficient lady. Great selection of wines served in a comfortable welcoming bar at very reasonable prices. I would definitely stay here again. There is a lot to do in the area for all ages.
