helpful staff excellent breakfast narrow bed heavy duvet
the location was great. the staff were very helpful.. even with directions to nearby attractions. i also enjoyed the excellent breakfast served each morning. the homemade cakes were a highlight.
the smallest rooms had narrow beds, about 1.60m wide. the duvet was thick and heavy. the hotel owner did not provide a lighter blanket when asked.
