Cute Stay with Excellent Food

friendly servicereally good breakfastlimited choice
I felt welcome. The service I received from every staff member was friendly. Breakfast stood out as really good. The room was clean, modern, and conveniently located on the ground floor, preventing any need to carry luggage upstairs.
My partner has celiac disease and found the food choices limited. The chef was unable to modify any dishes, citing their busy schedule. The salmon she ordered was dry and rubbery.
