“You need to visit this inn to appreciate all it has to offer”
We booked this property from Europe on the basis of pictures etc and hoped we had got it right! It absolutely exceeded all our expectations! Our two bedroom cottage was a delight with its own private courtyard. The swimming pool was exactly right. Everywhere was very private with beautiful laid out gardens. It was situated in easy reach of the town centre which was an utter delight too and do make sure you visit the Taft gardens.

We loved this place very much, the grounds are beautiful, the natural style of architecture and decor is completely welcoming and a pleasure to call home for 3 nights. I loved the greenery and established trees around the property, the pool area was serene and the guest welcome room was always stocked with treats, teas, games and tourist information. A thoughtfully hospitable place. Also love the mosaic green iguana water feature and all the artistic touches.
