A real little gem. Rooms are basic but have everything you need for a short stay, spotlessly clean & cosy. The bistro is a great thing to have in such a small country staff & all the staff we interacted with at the bar & in the bistro were just fantastic. Great experience & would definitely stay again if in the area 👍
