Excellent Stay

great locationfriendly hosthandy parkingtasty breakfast
The breakfast tasted great and was cooked as requested. The host acted very friendly and professional (she was also very knowledgeable!). The location has great access to the train and bus station. I found handy parking. Other places don't always have this.
The shower had hardly any pressure and only gave a small spray of water. There was no soap provided at the sink. no bottled water in the fridge for a refreshing drink.

Breakfast was included and had various options. Vegetarian choices were available (i really appreciated this). The bacon gave lots of energy to climb the mountains as well.

I found the staff to be quite amiable, offering assistance whenever needed. The location suited my needs perfectly, especially with its proximity to the Crafty Baa pub.. I could easily walk there for a few beers. The breakfast was a delight, providing quality ingredients, ensuring a strong start to the day.
