Our dog especially loved the bed! 🐶❤️ The staff were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made our stay even nicer. We also really enjoyed the breakfast — I was especially happy to see sunny-side-up eggs! 😊 Thank you for making our stay so pleasant. We would definitely be happy to stay again."

10/10 Excellent
"We were coming in late, so I called ahead. The front desk was very accommodating even though we arrived after they were closed. They left our keys for us clearly marked. The room was wonderful and the bed was spacious. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Our room had the old-style skeleton key so if you are not used to that it might be good to brush up on how to use it before you arrive. We've experienced that a few times in the UK so it was OK for us."
