A decent stay overall

good location fresh berries friendly owner stained carpet tired decor dirty bedlinen
The location is very convenient. It is a short walk to the city centre. The breakfast included a good variety of food. I liked the fresh berries. I also found the owner to be friendly. There was even a friendly little cat.
The carpet had a few noticeable stains. The bedroom decor was somewhat tired. The bedlinen was a little dirty. the pillowcases had some stains too.
