“The countryside setting here is quite peaceful, made all the better by an inn that manages to feel both welcoming and recently updated, with rooms that are consistently clean and comfortable. Evening meals proved surprisingly robust, with a good selection, and the breakfast itself is a noteworthy start to the day, especially for those needing gluten-free options.”
