charming stay!

private parking lovely view ideal location provided breakfast
I found private parking convenient, a real bonus. my room had a lovely view. It was good to wake up to it each morning. the location was ideal as a short walk got me to the centre. the provided breakfast was a great start to my day, it had so many choices.
the staircase was a bit steep for my liking. i could have used some help carrying my luggage to my room.

The room had everything I needed. There was plenty of parking, I appreciate that. Breakfast was EXCELLENT and the owner was lovely.
The stairs were steep. It would be difficult with heavier luggage, so keep this IN mind. The entrance to the hotel felt dated.

I had a single room. The room was a good size. The en suite bathroom was superb. The breakfast was locally sourced and cooked.
The entrance to the hotel felt dated. I noticed a smell of stale cigarettes. The stairs were steep, it would be difficult with heavier luggage.
