"The breakfast was superb. We tried the evening menu special which was a Pheasant breast.It wasn't the best I've tasted, it was nicely presented but it was rather salty and dry. The bed mattress provided a good nights sleep and the room was spacious and clean. Well worth the 5 stars"

Local area is cute and walkable, convenient if small town shopping is your bag. Be aware parking is tight if you have a larger...
