Breakfast draws frequent compliments for being generous, tasty, and flexible, with thoughtful dietary accommodations and early to-go bags when needed. Some guests enjoyed the porch, garden seating, and pantry with water or wine, while others noted minor cosmetic wear or occasional mustiness in this older property. Expect a personable, historic stay with home comforts rather than a standard hotel.

Historic house with inviting common spaces (porch, garden) and a handy pantry for drinks. On-site parking is available but can be tight; several reviews note minor cosmetic maintenance consistent with an older property.
