best Boutique property we stayed at. The furnishings were fantastic, the upkeep of the property (in and out) was spotless, everything was clean and well preserved, parking was good and spacious. The location is perfect, everything seems to be in walking distance. We couldn't complain about anything. We had a lovely stay and we certainly will frequent this beautiful gem again.
Negative:
Continental Breakfast could have had more substance, maybe fresh bread rolls?.
Summary: Best Boutique Property we stayed at!
