Our story
Made for slow weekends
We are a family-run inn in an old house by the brook. We restored it room by room to make the kind of place we love to stay in ourselves: quiet, comfortable and full of character, with real people at the front desk.
- Breakfast cooked to order every morning
- Rooms cleaned daily, with fresh linen and towels
