"The approach was nondescript and we wondered if we were in the right place or someone’s private home. But once inside, we were very pleased. The inn is clean, cozy, comfortable, and appealing. The staff is welcoming and helpful. Dinner (not included, but a lovely menu) was delicious, with a wine assortment from local vineyards. And breakfast (included) was also very good. We would definitely return."

"Great room, very spacious and in good condition. It looks like they may have had a fairly recent renovation. The bed was very comfortable and the area very quiet (except for the howling wind)! Only gave it a 4 star for cleanliness as I found some used tissues under the nightstand which precipitated me to look under the bed. I could see a few things underneath and a layer of dust. However the rest of the room appeared to be clean. Despite this, I would still recommend staying here."
