Check-in was a breeze. The place is little outdated but it's still clean. The amenities on the property were perfect. Good for an overnight trip to go wine tasting.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (131 reviews)

Beautiful property! Quiet, bucolic, the flowers, the trees… all so pretty. Took a walk in the morning just to enjoy the property before I had to leave. The room felt like your own little castle cottage. Incredibly well appointed. From grooming kits to a dental kit. All the extra blankets and pillows and towels you could use. Separated like a home. Front room, bedroom, large bathroom. Amazing bath tub! They even brought bowls for my little dog. If I end up that way again I would hope I could get a room here. Just wonderful!
