Very nice breakfast. Was hoping to use the bikes but it was raining. The exercise room has only 4 pieces of equipment perhaps add some free weights or exercise bands

A Good Place
Lavender Inn was a good place to stay in a great location. We enjoyed wine and cheese in the evening and their breakfast in the morning. Our first floor room was a bit dated and musty. A dehumidifier was located in the room. The room was clean and well kept. The bathroom was updated and large.
