This is a lovely spot for a one night stay!

7.0

Fantastic location, delicious breakfast and beautiful house.

The lack of response from staff. I emailed if we could get our breakfast to go and didn’t hear back. Also, we were told there would be fresh cookies. We could not find them at the end of the second day of our stay. We also thought that our room would be refreshed after the first night but that wasn’t the case.
