Guest review

8.0

Man hat uns ein Zimmer ebenerdig gegeben. Das hat mir sehr geholfen. Das Restaurant hat einen Michelin Stern verdient! Spitzenklasse! Frühstück im gegenüberliegenden Cafe ist sehr gut!

− Zu weiche Matratzen.

Great accommodation for a short stay. Excellent restaurant on site with organic, farm to table food.

9.0

This property has great history! The main inn is a beautiful building, and the motel was easy to access and very clean.

− Our initial greeting wasn’t great. It took a long time to get the receptionist’s attention, and we never did hear a “hello, welcome!” The evening receptionist (Kathy) was talkative, and warm. The washrooms and shower were lovely, but the beds drooped on the sides, (so it felt like you were falling out of bed.). Otherwise comfortable. The chairs outside were a nice touch!
