great stay but minor room issues

The self-service breakfast offered a fresh selection, which I thoroughly enjoyed each morning. The friendly staff made a real effort to ensure we were comfortable during our stay.

The room, while beautiful, had some minor issues that could be improved.

Perfect spot for cyclists!

We stayed for 2 nights during a cycling event and loved it! The room was comfy and had all we needed. The owner was really nice, making breakfast at 5am for us cyclists on Sunday. Super helpful! the breakfast was delish with great fruit options. Just wish there was more parking.

The staff's warm hospitality made the stay memorable, and the location was perfect, close to everything needed. the room lacked soundproofing which affected sleep quality, and the breakfast selection could be improved for variety. a pleasant visit that I would consider repeating.

Comfy and welcoming vibe

We had a lovely 3-night stay in a small double room. The staff were super friendly and gave us an upgrade, which was a nice surprise! The breakfast options were fab, especially for special diet menus! Only thing was it was a bit noisy at night, but nothing too crazy. we really enjoyed our time.

Our family enjoyed a lovely stay. Only a short walk to the town centre, we appreciated the peaceful surroundings. Breakfast had a great variety, and the room was spacious for our needs. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Pro tip, Arrive early for best parking spots.
