poor shower long walk
The breakfast was quite good. The homemade preserves tasted alright.
the room was quite small, i guess. the shower pressure resembled a light drizzle more than an actual shower. also, the location, well, it required a bit of a hike to get into town, and i am not one for hiking, especially when i am just trying to find a decent meal.

small ensuite road noise
the breakfast had a good selection, from porridge to special waffles, and tasted delicious.
The small ensuite was a real issue. It felt far too cramped. the shower offered very little water pressure making it hard to properly wash. i also found the road noise quite bothersome during the night.

small en-suite poor shower
Breakfast included homemade jams.
The room felt quite dark. The en-suite was also very small with a poor shower. It was a bit too far from the town center for evening walks.
