Exceptional hospitality from the owner elevates the stay, evident in both the attentiveness to guests and the quality of the hearth-the leek and white chocolate soup, for instance, is truly memorable. Hearty breakfasts and well-executed cocktails add to the sense of genuine care found throughout the property.”
