Staying here was one of the highlights of our trip. The place is absolutely lovely and the staff couldn’t be more friendly and welcoming. Plus the cooked to order breakfast was top notch! If you are looking for a quiet comfortable stay away from most of the tourist traffic, look no further.

Our family had a comfortable stay for 1 night. Enjoyed the breakfast as well in the morning. The gentleman at the reception was super nice and helped us with dinner recommendations as well. Only item that could be better is the WiFi, which was very spotty and extremely slow!

Everything about this place was perfect. The owners were so amazingly kind and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The rooms were large and well appointed. The sitting area was charming. Sitting area by the horse near the entrance was so welcoming and we enjoyed visiting with other travelers. We also enjoyed the game room and playing pool. The view out of our window was amazing looking over field of cows and natural beauty. The parking area was huge. The location seems so secluded, but it’s an easy walking distance to the village.
