    Boutique layout, our 4 poster bedroom, with a fireplace, was lovely. Especially for the price ! Aside of that the service was very friendly and welcoming. And the breakfast area, also with a Fireplace, was very relaxing.

    This place was a treat for the eyes! So much cool stuff to look at, and the room was a good size, clean, and the host was very attentive too. A short walk from the main hustle and bustle of the town, but worth it all the same!
