    Our group of four took three rooms for an overnight stay and all enjoyed the experience. The property has period charm while the rooms have a contemporary feel . The staff were friendly and obliging and the food was excellent. I also liked that the location was in a quiet village away from the tourist hotspots and that there was plenty of parking. My three American friends absolutely loved the place .
