Immaculate Hotel with Excellent Service!

warm roomclean roomhelpful staffcolourful flowers
The owner met us upon arrival and was very helpful in suggesting places for meals. The room was large and included a shower room, dressing room, and cloakroom. The bed was comfortable. Staff were nice and helpful during breakfast, and the view onto the front lawn was colourful with flowers. I found it amazing!!!
My room faced the main road, so traffic noise was noticeable at times.
