Fine Stay

quiet locationlovely gardenattentive ownerno air conditionsmall roomhigh tub
I liked the room. It was quiet but near to town, restaurants, and the railway station. I thought the garden was lovely to relax in after sightseeing. Julia was very helpful, she made sure I had everything I needed.
The day got hot and my room had no air condition. There was no ventilator either, it would have helped. I did find the room clean but small. The bathroom did not have a shower but a high tub.

A Truly Cute Stay

comfortable bedfresh milkdelicious breakfast
The room felt really perfect. It had fresh milk for my tea, I found it a sweet touch. The complimentary hand wash and shampoo smelled gorgeous. Breakfast was delicious, and the parking space was a plus.
It was a hot day, and the room lacked air conditioning , a ventilator would have been useful.
