wonderful stay
clean room helpful staff excellent breakfast
the room was very clean and the bathroom was ideal. i had lunch in the restaurant and the staff looked after us well. the staff were happy and helpful both at lunch and later. breakfast was excellent with sausages that had a pleasant hint of sweetness, it was all well cooked.
this time i stayed upstairs, so there was no real view. the main issue was the lack of chairs. there was one armchair and one desk chair. it did not feel right considering there was a double bed and a single bed in the room.
