a decent stay
friendly staff delicious food stray hair drunk local
The location was wonderful. The staff was friendly. the owner and chef showed me individual attention since the hotel was not crowded. the food tasted delicious.
I am not sure the bathroom had been cleaned. There were stray hairs in the shower and a random towel. there was a drunk local at the bar. He kept trying to talk to me. no one stepped in to remove the man from my table.

decent stay
comfortable bed cosy space limited menu slow service
the room had a comfortable bed and i found the space cosy. the view from the room was also a highlight.
the dinner menu was not as expected from the photos. it was disappointing and i had higher hopes for variety , the bar and restaurant seemed understaffed , resulting in slow service and a lack of attention to detail.

the dinner menu did not quite align with the expectations set by the online photos. it was disappointing, particularly compared to the promise we saw beforehand.

curtain rail water drainage
The breakfast was a good choice and there was plenty of it.
The room curtain rail fell off the wall. I remembered it had fallen off the year before too. The shower over the bath was ok, but the water did not drain even overnight. The bath remained half full.
