Lovely Stay!
spacious room clean room central location
The room was spacious and VERY clean! I had a single room with a bathroom, and it overlooked the garden and woods. It felt peaceful being a short walk from the centre of town. This offered a little peace from the touristy bustle.
The shower wash-basin cubicle felt a little small.
