Really good Spot for Exploring the Area

fantastic locationfridge bonussuper clean roomeasy parking

The location was fantastic if you arrive by car, avoiding the need to drive into the city center. The room, specifically the annexe, included both a microwave and a fridge, which i found a great bonus. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, and the landlady was really nice (a warm welcome is always appreciated). Parking was easy, a really convenient bonus.

I noticed some signs in the room, which seemed unnecessary and detracted slightly from the otherwise lovely atmosphere. This is a very minor point, though.

Rooms

9/10

The double room included a private bathroom, ensuring privacy and convenience. The inclusion of a microwave and fridge in the annexe provided added flexibility, a great feature. Cleanliness was clearly a priority.
