“The welcome by the owner immediately sets a tone of genuine hospitality that carries through the entire stay. My room was thoughtfully appointed, the bed notably comfortable, and the attention to detail, like the generously sized tea mugs, didn't go unnoticed. I found the food, both breakfast and evening meals, to be a real highlight, with creative, well-executed dishes that made dining on-site a pleasure.”
