The concept is good, but the property is not well maintained. The room was very damp and musty. Feet were black from walking on floor. Pool did not work the entire stay. Small, flimsy curtain did not keep out light at night. Bed was comfortable and it is about 15 minutes walk (up hill) to town.

Check in was a breeze and the young woman at the desk was friendly. She told us when the fire would be started in the outdoor fireplace that night. We took advantage of the warm November night and sat by the fireplace..That was a great perk!
