My wife and myself had the pleasure of staying in this lovely Hotel last week. This is a hidden Gem, and there is a wonderful ambience that surrounds you from the moment you arrive. This coupled with great food and a very professional and friendly staff set it apart from other Hotels. Having found it, we will look forward to staying again in the future. Oh, and the room great.
