Excellent Guest House Experience

attentive hostscented toiletrieshomemade compotecontinental breakfast
The breakfast included homemade fruit compote. It had a flavoursome tart taste. This breakfast also included many continental options. The location allowed a short walk into the main part of town. The parking at the venue was open and accessible.
The steep driveway made exiting slightly challenging due to narrow roads.

charming stay with a tasty breakfast

i had a really good time here! the host was super friendly and helpful. my room was spacious and had all the amenities i needed, including a tv and reliable wi-fi. the breakfast was delicious, and i especially liked the homemade compote.
my only issue was that the private bathroom wasn't directly connected to my room. it was located down a small corridor, so it felt a bit inconvenient during the night.
