“I found the inn to be a thoughtfully refurbished establishment, evident in its clean, airy common areas and well-appointed, quiet rooms. The staff were consistently noted as kind and professional, making efforts to accommodate dietary needs and even preparing picnic lunches, which added a distinct touch to stays, especially for those exploring the surrounding walking country. It strikes me as a place that understands true hospitality, particularly for dog owners.”
