I liked locality. Our room was clean and there was even a hair dryer. I enjoyed that the Windows were soundproof even though we had a window facing road. Bed was comfy and the heating worked great!

Tremble 9.0

Lovely room well appointed, with wonderful bathroom. Everything clean and tidy and offering convenient space for the traveller to put their items. Also - Thank you for proper loo paper (other places can only offer tissue paper quality!!). I was not aware of any breakfast offering. Neither saw nor heard anything on that topic. I was wanting one. The lady and gent from the property were very friendly. My experience was very positive.
