The owners of this property were absolutely wonderful and I would seriously consider staying there again. That said if you want a modern 5 star hotel this is not the place for you. Bed was comfortable but the room itself was not very large with limited space for luggage. Bathroom on the other hand was quite large. Due to age of the inn itself the floor were somewhat uneven in places.
