What people say

The owners were friendly and helpful, offering options to pay via cash or credit card. They also worked with us to provide an alternate breakfast, as we had to leave early in the morning. The room was comfortable, clean and charming. Would recommend this BandB for future travelers to this cute village. The staff were very courtous and helpful. The food was very good and the chef/porprieter was exelent.
