Wonderful Stay with Excellent Food

friendly welcome cheerful area amazing staff
I received a friendly welcome here. The log fire burned in a cheerful area next to the bar. Locals. I chose to eat there instead of in the restaurant. The evening meal tasted excellent and I had a very big breakfast. Staff were so amazing here.
The live music played in the bar below my room until late. It made it hard to sleep.

The staff were super friendly. I also liked the very nice food served (especially the fish).

Acceptable But With Issues

The beer garden is a great spot for drinks and dinner.
The room felt small, I could only open one wardrobe door properly because of the limited space. There was no chairs. The bathroom was tiny and had little space in front of the toilet. I did not like this.
