Our room was very spacious and had an attached bath. This property is under renovation, but the hostess was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. Our room was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was good, and plentiful. The baked peach was absolutely delicious! The exterior needs to be finished to be more inviting.
