a cozy stay

central locationlovely breakfastconvenient parking

The breakfast included a good choice of cereals, and i especially loved the cooked breakfast (the sausages were amazing!). the location was ideal, providing easy walking distance to the town centre. I could explore with no hassle. parking was conveniently available on the drive, so i didn't have to worry about finding a spot elsewhere.

the shower pressure was a bit weak, made rinsing a little slow.

The room was smaller than advertised. The toilet seat's finish was peeling off, exposing the wood underneath. This is unacceptable. I noticed the cord to turn on the bathroom light was dirty..

Breakfast met my expectations. It was served promptly.

The shower temperature was difficult to regulate, fluctuating from cold to hot. additionally, the room felt somewhat dated. Some of the furniture showed wear and tear. the tv remote was also not very clean.
