The breakfast included several choices. I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit salad each morning. The hosts offered helpful recommendations for local walks. The provided maps and guidebooks helped me a lot (I love hiking!).
The television remote needed new batteries.

The location is perfect. It is close to the bus stop. This makes visiting the surrounding areas easy. The room was very clean. Secure parking added to the convenience. Breakfast was so delicious with vegan options. Richard and Paula are very friendly. They made sure my needs were met. The hosts gave great information about hiking trails. They also provided directions to points of interest. The staff was so understanding. They provided a secure parking area. The hotel was neat. This added to the feeling of relaxation. I found several restaurants nearby. These restaurants were easy to walk to. The room was cozy. The bed was comfortable. The heating was reliable. It helped me feel relaxed at night. The variety of breakfast items was also a plus.
The room I stayed in was small. There were exposed beams, so I bumped my head sometimes.

The location was accessible to both towns.
The flimsy curtain let in daylight early. It woke us up at 4 am. I wish they used something thicker.
