Wonderful Stay!

secure storagebreakfast choiceriver view
I stayed for a few nights and found secure bike storage in the shed. Self-service breakfast offered plenty of choice. I enjoyed the lovely view of the river from my bedroom window. It was great. I found the location was right in the middle of the village.
The street parking nearby was sometimes occupied.

The owner greeted me personally and remembered me. I found everything explained clearly. Breakfast is self-service. Fridge and freezer space is available for each room. The room included good free Wi-Fi and a super mattress.
My room lacked extra blankets, and nobody was available to assist with the radiators when I couldn't get it to work.
