excellent breakfastbeautiful silverwareuncomfortable bedsmall bathroom
the breakfast was excellent, really lovely. beautiful silverware was there too.
i found the bed to be rather uncomfortable for me. the room also faced the road so it got a little noisy even with the double glazed window. the bathroom felt too small, so i did not feel well.

Excellent stay

friendly ownersspacious roomfresh fruitstreet parking
The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and located at the rear of the hotel. Breakfast offered a wide selection of fresh fruit, and the main course was cooked to order using very good ingredients (the sausages were amazing!).
There was no on-site parking. I had to park on a busy street.
