Every detail of this recently renovated and quirky property was nice. The staff members were very hospitable and excellent, we received good service. The single room had a bay window, a high ceiling, and coffee, facilities worked for us. The view over the garden from the window was incredibly beautiful.

Its location back to all the restaurants I passed walking down the hill was particularly good and perfect. Plus, main attraction such as Saint Anne's Well was 4 km from this hotel.
The room was a little dated.
