Cute stay near town center

warm welcomespacious layoutlocal attractionweak stream
James offered a warm welcome and gave us personalized suggestions for local attractions. Our room felt upgraded with a lovely, spacious layout. The bathroom included nice amenities (shampoo, body wash, etc). The location proved perfect, only a short walk to the town center.
The shower stream was quite weak. I could not close the tap properly. It dripped throughout the night. the room itself was small.
