A great location and a very comfortable property with proprietors that were amazingly accommodating. Fingers crossed you get some warm cookies upon arrival and the breakfast is spot on even if you are not a vegetarian.

Good private parking. Very helpful staff. A clean spacious room. The room was up two flights of stairs but my case was carried up for me.
Breakfast was lovely and brought up to my room.
A good place to stay along my journey north.
