Wonderful Stay!

friendly hosthelpful advicecomfortable roomsmall hook
The hosts were friendly. They offered helpful advice regarding local eateries and attractions. Breakfast included many options. Everything was fresh. The room was quite comfortable!
Securing my expensive bike proved difficult. The wall hooks were too small for insurance mandated locks. I suggest insurance-certified bike anchor points.

inadequate hooksbike storage
i was somewhat disappointed . the lack of proper bike storage was a major issue. there was no safe place to keep them overnight, and the promised wall hooks were inadequate for secure locking. this needs addressing to accommodate guests with bikes safely.
