Nice little spot

Located in a quiet side street about a 10 min walk from the edge of town so away from any noise. Accommodation was pleasant and clean. Breakfast was between 8.30 & 9.00 on a pre-order basis (so not a buffet) all of which we liked as it avoided waste.

Perfect stay

A great experience. The hostess greeted us outside and made sure we found free parking. The room and en-suite were exceptionally clean! The beds were comfy and nice toiletries were a treat! The hostess ensured we had everything we need and was available throughout our stay. Lots of information provided in the room. The free breakfast was amazing quality! Cooked to perfection! There were different options you could choose from. Perfect stay, would stay again.
