adequate stay
friendly staff excellent breakfast small room old hairdryer
The location was perfect for seeing the town. the staff were very friendly and helpful . breakfast was excellent. I especially enjoyed the homemade muesli and marmalade.
upon arrival, i found the room to be smaller than anticipated. there was no hair conditioner provided, only a dual body and hair wash. the hairdryer seemed very old.

fresh fruit dill mustard lovely aesthetic
The breakfast included fresh fruit, not the usual canned variety. I also appreciated the dill mustard. I found it a must-try item. The decor had a lovely aesthetic.. I loved it.
The floorboards creaked quite audibly when people walked past the room.
