a decent stay
convenient location delicious breakfast friendly staff disappointing room steep stairs old fashioned room
the location is quite convenient. it allows for an easy walk into the town. breakfast was delicious. (especially the coffee!) the staff were friendly and accommodating.
the room was a bit disappointing. access was not easy because of steep and narrow stairs. i found the room to be old fashioned. the shower head would not stay up and kept moving around.

short walk comfortable room great car parking
Location is fabulous. It is only a short walk into the heart of the town center. The house was so great. It is a beautiful place with a comfortable room. The breakfast is good! Car parking is great. It is such a friendly place.
The stairs were a challenge for some people. They are steep and narrow.

Breakfast has lots of great options. I had scrambled eggs with salmon as my main choice. It was delicious! You have to submit your choices the night before. It is such a great idea, and this will help reduce wastage.
