This was a great place to stay for a chance to get away on a quiet weekend. The suite was lovely and clean, with a great jacuzzi whirlpool, which made for a quiet, relaxed, romantic weekend. The best part was the hot breakfast served in the morning, where we were able to chat with Becky & Dave Barrett, both wonderful, kind people. We highly recommend this place!
