This is a lovely historical inn. It is managed by people who see and enjoy its history. They make it accessible and popular to people who enjoy socializing to music in this atmosphere close to nature but also in a small city setting. All of this is excellent. The only concerns come with the expectations of modern travel (e.g. bigger rooms, bathrooms with space for travel items, etc.) still, breakfast is ample and well thought-out, rooms are very clean, staff capable & friendly. If one chooses to stay for supper, meals appear to have good variety and well-priced.
