Immaculate Stay Near the Centre

vegan breakfast regular breakfast short walk
The vegan breakfast was very nice, as was the regular breakfast option, i noted. The owners gave me a vegan packed lunch, great. The location was a short walk from the train station. It took only 10 minutes. I appreciated how clean and beautifully decorated everything was.
The shower lacked wash. I had to use my own toiletries. This was a slight inconvenience. I wish i had been informed beforehand.

The guest house is about a five minute walk from the town center, and this made it easy to go out later in the evening. The location is also convenient for accessing the train station without needing a car. GREAT!
