Polite staff. Nothing fancy, but got a good night’s sleep. Just passing through.
Nice comfortable 2-bedroom apartment. Great quiet location, but you probably need a car (15min walk to the main road). very friendly and efficient host.
lovely place to stay, warm dry and quiet. lovely host.
only thing that would make it better is a more comfortable master bed, ended up sleeping in the single bed the second night which was better
