the location is prime! i found the room fully equipped and the bed offered amazing comfort. the staff were so friendly and tried to accommodate all my needs, which i appreciated. even parking was easy, a quick 5-minute walk up the hill!
I did notice a slightly loud extractor fan noise in my room. Blocking it out proved a bit tricky. it was a minor thing, but something to consider for light sleepers!

i enjoyed a light cooked breakfast, and i must say, it was delicious, plus, it kept me full for hours! the ingredients tasted really fresh and were prepared with such care.

the room décor was so tasteful, and i really loved the spotlessly clean shower room. a rainfall shower added such a luxurious touch after a long day. the bed was really nice!

the staff's kindness during check-in just set the tone for the whole trip! they remembered small details and always greeted me with a smile, and that makes a big difference during the visit.

My room was spotlessly clean. it was tastefully decorated too. the rainfall shower was great and the bed felt comfortable. the staff was friendly and breakfast was really good. parking (free) was possible. It required a five minute walk up the hill, but it was worth it.
i noticed a loud extractor fan noise in the room. it was difficult to block this noise out. road noise was also noticeable, but i understand the location is on a somewhat busy road.
