10/10 Excellent

A Charming Motel with lots of interesting and unusual decor. Our hosts were terrific fun and even provided a musical evening of entertainment (Tuesdays). Room was good, clean and well provisioned with water, coffee and biscuits/snack. TV, A/C, Fridge and Fan all worked fine. Could do with a hook to hang towels in the shower room (or did we miss it?). Micro-brewery next door. Pizza’s down the road. Bakery and Diner just over the bridge and in the village. A Great Find!
