Heerlijk verblijf
Pros:

Het was brandschoon en gezellig ingericht. Fijn bed en douche en een heerlijk ontbijt.

Cons:

Het plafond en deurposten waren vrij laag, regelmatig ons hoofd gestoten, maar dat was ook de charme van een oude Inn.

Pros:

All the staff was really nice and welcoming. The included breakfast was great.

Cons:

The mattress in our room needs to be changed, we had back pain from the springs poking at us. I was expecting much more at the price we paid. Normally $300 cad/night gets us outstanding comfort.

We enjoyed it and thank the hosts
Pros:

The restaurant served excellent food. The room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The toilet brush was unsightly as not clean despite the room being clean.
It would have been helpful to have hooks in the bathroom for clothes when in the shower
