My stay at The Inn was an enchanting experience filled with charm and comfort. The attention to detail by Dennis, the innkeeper, was remarkable, making the atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. The accommodations were spacious, and the breakfast was a highlight of the stay. However, being the smallest room, our experience was limited by space, and the Wi-Fi could be more reliable. Nonetheless, it was great value for money!
