“What stood out to me about this place, beyond the obvious appeal of a 373-year-old building, was the generosity of spirit. Little touches, like homemade cake and Port wine, suggest a dedication to hospitality, and the inclusion of bicycles encourages exploration. It feels like a genuine welcome, not just a transaction.”
