Excellent stay!
great locationincluded breakfastfresh milklocal product
The hotel's location near the parkrun venue was convenient. The inclusion of breakfast added significant value. I appreciated the flask provided for fresh milk, it made coffee better. I noticed the hotel used top quality, locally sourced products.
I requested a non slip bathmat for the shower, but one wasn't available. I think a fridge is important in a room like that, and the water provided was tap water instead of branded mineral water.

The room was quiet, i slept soundly for six nights. the staff was always attentive and ready to assist (i especially appreciated their help with directions). breakfast was delicious each morning. I found the food to be of high quality. i found parking very convenient, a real plus in the center of town.
I noticed some slight wear on the bathroom door. A fresh coat of paint would do wonders.
