*** travelers beware *** Stayed recently and encountered several issues that made the visit uncomfortable: • Mold on the bathroom ceiling, which staff attributed to the age of the building — but that doesn’t excuse a health concern. • Insufficient heating in the room, despite chilly weather. • spider in bathroom • When I asked to cancel the second night, I was told it wasn’t possible (no cancellations) Instead, they offered a different room • Throughout, staff interactions lacked warmth and professionalism. I didn’t feel heard or supported. I understand older properties come with quirks, but basic cleanliness, comfort, and respectful service should never be negotiable.

Clean grounds and clean room. Downside: Paying for a King Deluxe room for the fireplace and it wasn't working. As said, we called the reception and were told that it might be ''frozen'' ... 15 degrees celsius ??? Plus that it was just there for ambiance and not to heat the room. Nowing that, we would have paid for a standard room or they could have given us a credit.

This is a quaint and charming looking place in a beautiful town. The room was alright as far as cleanliness goes, although a little dated. The washroom however has not been maintained in quite some time. The paint was bubbling and falling off the ceilings and walls, the bathtub grout and caulking was full of mold and gaps. We had a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, but there was no way we’d have used it based on what we saw. The shower head had a constant leak and the whole room smelt musky and damp.

Good place, good price.

We came in off-season, everything was good overall. We can see that the place used to be in better shape in a past era, but the grounds are still lovely for this price. The fridge in the room was noisy, and bathroom ventilation is needed.
