Breakfast included eggs from their own chickens. I found the staff helpful with local information. The location was convenient for attractions. It was a short walk to the park. Parking on site was useful. I appreciate it.
The room heating was difficult to adjust, and I had trouble finding a comfortable setting. It was not easy to use.

The breakfast had fresh, made-to-order eggs, AMAZING!!! The location was perfect. It was right across from the castle, a big plus. I was able to walk to the town center, so that was really convenient. Rooms were clean, and the bed was very comfortable.
The room was hot. The window cannot be opened fully, thus the room stayed hot even during a calm night. I couldn't sleep WELL!!!

The breakfast included fresh fruit and a lovely selection of items. I appreciated the off-road parking. I found the location close to the city center.
The room was a bit cold, and I found it rather uncomfortable. When I spoke to the owner, I felt he was rude. He did not rectify the situation immediately.
