basic stay , with a few drawbacks

small room challenging parking

the hostess greeted me promptly.

the room was quite small , barely enough space to walk around the bed , and the shower was equally cramped. there was no lift , so navigating several flights of stairs with luggage proved difficult. finding a car park space was also a challenge.

great stay, perfect location!

Marianne, the host, was cute and very friendly. she arranged a parking pass for our stay, which helped a lot. the location was ideal for the open air theatre. It was a short walk. the provided voucher for the local cafe was a nice gesture.

our small double room had limited space around the bed, and the shower felt a little tight. it made moving around a bit challenging.

Wonderful Stay!

downstairs kitchen friendly host comfortable bed

This was my first time at this lodge. Marianne gave a friendly welcome! She gave me great recommendations for places. My room was clean and tidy, and the bed was very comfy. The beach and Peasholme park are nearby. I liked the downstairs kitchen where I could store and prepare food.

The parking was a little hard to find. That's all.
