A friend stayed here a few years ago, said we should check it out. What a great surprise. Parking was easy, and inexpensive. The staff, Jenny was outgoing and helpful. She was very helpful and informative. We ate in the pub...the fried brie and calamari were above expectations! The room was clean and comfortable. Would be happy to stay again!
