Delightful!

A beautiful location, breakfast was amazing, and everything was fantastic. My only concern was Wi-Fi connections were sporadic while I was working from my room.

Parents found toilet to be dirty, and when trying to add a breakfast buffet for me, found the breakfast too expensive. Bed is comfortable though: they slept immediately.

This was advertised as a bed and breakfast. By my standards it was not, it was an Inn with a continental breakfast. Hampton Inn breakfasts are better. My room was small, bed was not comfortable, TV didn't work at first, and the alarm clock was useless. I will not be back.
