One night stay. Excellent breakfast. Room is small relative to pics. NO ELEVATOR if carrying heavy luggage. Is a bit outside town so car a must. Can’t walk to restaurants(5 minutes drive).

The room was cosy and sufficient for one night. It was tidy, but I could see it was wasn't wiped down properly after the previous guests, as I could still spot evidence of their stay here and there. Thankfully not enough to yuck me out. If you are a light sleeper, make sure you take some ear plugs, as you can hear almost everything your neighbours are doing and saying, in particular if you are in a downstairs room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were great! They have a bar as well, if you fancy a night cap.
