Comfortable Stay

spacious roomclean roomlovely breakfastcentral location
The room was spacious and clean. The cafe provided a lovely breakfast. One staff member at breakfast was helpful and accommodating (nothing seemed too much trouble). The location is very central to everything.
I found parking a challenge. The village was busy, and I had to park a 25-minute walk away, not ideal while carrying luggage.

the breakfast had great options including hot drinks. the staff were very friendly in the cafe. the room was spotlessly clean. (i especially liked how clean it was)
our phones did not work (it was not their fault). there was no one onsite after the cafe closed. the room was quite small and stuffy without a fan.

Excellent Stay!

spacious bathroomseparate showerfriendly staffdelicious breakfast
The room included a very spacious bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. I also appreciated the newspaper available near the entrance. It was helpful for drying our wet hiking boots. The staff was very friendly and accommodating during my entire stay. Breakfast offered many choices and was very delicious.
The room was located on a higher floor, and there was no lift. It was a bit challenging to carry luggage up multiple flights of stairs.

The breakfast selection was AMAZING!!! Many options were available, including fresh fruit, cereals, and a hot breakfast menu. The coffee was also particularly good, strong, and very flavorful. It provided a great start to the day.
