I felt welcomed. the landlady is amazing. She remembered my drink order from a previous visit (just a month ago!). the room was spacious and comfortable, with everything in perfect working order. i got excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants.
parking before 6 pm is a bit far from the hotel. hauling luggage was a bit of a chore. maybe a closer drop-off point could help.

charming stay

quiet hotelcomfortable roomconvenient locationsafe storage
I found the hotel quiet. The bedding felt quite nice! I appreciated the large comfortable twin room in the courtyard at the back. It was REALLY quiet given its convenient location. Safe storage existed for bikes in the locked courtyard.
I noticed the drainage seemed a bit old, SOMETIMES a bit wiffy.

Access to liquid refreshment was easy. This is because it is a pub. The pub gardens are well kept, and food consumption IS allowed there. It's a great spot to spend the afternoon
