THE BEST LITTLE SECRET HOTEL
Absolutely loved this hotel. Every single thing about it. The set-up, the ROOMS (omg), the bedding, the people running it, the ease of it all. They even still provide daily housekeeping service which is a rarity these days. We loved it and will definitely stay here again.
