Property Description
Built in 1880, Fountain Terrace has been lovingly restored to its former glory by Penny and Heikki Minkkinen. The comfort and friendliness of a traditional bed and breakfast combined with the charm and elegance of a European hotel.
Seven beautiful guest rooms, all with private facilities individually decorated with its own unique style.
Fountain Terrace has been extensively renovated but retains the warmth of a traditional boutique hotel. An indulgent breakfast is served at a lovely refectory table in the guest drawing room.
