The chef prepared very high quality food at reasonable prices. We requested cereals to be left out for us at 6:30 am before our early departure. Janine provided cereals, fresh hot coffee, and toast for us and started work early (she was really amazing!). The staff was helpful and professional throughout our stay.

The shower had a warm flow, but it could have been stronger.

Wonderful Stay and Great Food

friendly staffexcellent breakfastconvenient locationhot water

The staff provided friendly service throughout my stay. The breakfast was excellent. I liked the dining room with tables that were well-spaced. The chef cooks a delicious English breakfast, and I appreciated the variety and quality of the meals. I had a restful stay because of the room's cleanliness. The central location in the market place was convenient.

The shower's water was too hot, even when adjusted to its lowest setting. After a long day of walking, a good shower is a must, so this was a small inconvenience.
