“This 16th-century building offers characterful accommodation that stands out for its historic charm; I especially appreciate the family-run service. Its unique feature is the Abbot's chair dating back to 1672, which offers a tangible link to the past and adds to the hotel's distinctive appeal. A solid choice for those seeking a quiet stay near local attractions.”
