Charming Stay with Excellent Service

spacious roomrestful nightsteep stairs

The room was spacious and full of character. The bed provided comfort and a restful night. I found a nice shower and a large sink area. Freshly prepared breakfast included alternative milk options.

The stairs are steep and twisting. This design made carrying cases up to the room a challenge. This was especially difficult, as I had to carry them from the nearest public carpark. I experienced car park anxiety.
