It was all there, but somewhat quaint and cute; a taste of the good old days. The heatpump was old and ineffective, but the bed was supremely comfortable. An enjoyable one night stay for one person. André.

This property was older but clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable the sheets crispy clean. I rang ahead to let the staff know we’d be late, they were very accommodating. No surprises here was exactly what I was expecting, we appreciated a place to stay for the night after halfway through a long trip.

Seamless check-in but the room needed a serious upgrade. Heat pump struggled to work, fridge froze our milk, and the condition of the room was not worth what we paid. Ok if there’s nowhere else to stay.
