Very good and pleasantly surprised
Pros:

Friendly staff, good food and variety and parking

Cons:

Only 1 issue is that the stairs are dark on 2 flights and not easy to see steps so the dark steps just need a white painted edge on them as some others are

Great location in the centre of town
Pros:

Easy check in, parking behind the property was good, breakfast served freshly and was quick

Cons:

Bit of a climb to our room, if elderly and less mobile you might struggle to get up and down the steep stairs.

大満足！
Pros:

・2階に寝室があり、外履きで寝室に入らずに済んだので、寝室を清潔を保つことができました。
・シャワーの水圧、温度ともに十分満足のいくレベルでした。
・毎日飲料用のお水が1人1本ずつもらえたので、ありがたかったです。
・駐車場が無料で敷地内に確保されていたので、レンタカーで行っても困りませんでした。
・部屋は表の通りから離れていたので、とても静かで夜ストレスなく寝ることができました。

Pros:

The staff were happy to help at any time 😁
Food was amazing thank you to the chef's
Clean towels everyday, cant fault the place.
Great views from the room onto the village .

Cons:

Our room was at the top of the buliding so stairs was very steep, but baring in mind it's a 500 year old building.

Sans aucun rapport avec les photos publiées sur votre site
Cons:

Chambre sans vraie fenêtre. Un escalier très pentu pour accéder au lit. Sommier plus petit que le matelas. Salle de douche si exiguë que l’on ne pouvait pas poser une brosse à dent, une trousse de toilette. Équipements vieillots. Une fois la chambre n’avait pas été faite.

Pros:

Die Lage, das urige alte Haus!

Cons:

Die sehr enge, steile Treppe ins Zimmer war zwar ganz lustig, aber eben auch schwierig zu bewältigen.Erforferte eine gewisse Beweglichkeit und Kraft mit Koffer.
