Really good Stay

large room helpful owner
The room was large and comfortable with good equipment in a historical stable building. Breakfast was a lovely quality with a nice choice. I appreciated the guest lounge with an honesty bar. The owner was cute AND helpful.
the shower was quite compact for a large bathroom. The VALUE was just average for the price i paid, because I have experienced better elsewhere.
