    I enjoyed my stay, particularly the delicious homemade breakfast and the welcoming atmosphere provided by the hosts. my room was darker than expected with limited natural light, which could be improved. It was a short walk to local attractions, making it a convenient choice for visitors.

    Can recommend for an overnight stay

    Exceptional location, exceptional service, with a small fridge in the room containing fresh milk and bottled water, and a breakfast that offered the most variety we have ever seen for a B & B hotel including homemade muesli and cakes.

    There was nothing I didn't like.
