Really welcomed and managed to get some much needed rest

Very comfortable room in a central location. I arrived after a long bike ride. The next day the owner filled and cleaned my bidon before I’d asked! Excellent stuff, never had a soigneur before..

Prime position and a very warm welcome - highly recommended
Pros:

Its located right on the square in a prime position. The owner was absolutely super - he kept in close contact with me on the lead up to the trip and made check in and the all important storage of bikes seamless and easy. Breakfast was delicious - just what we needed. A really relaxed and enjoyable trip, we will return.

Cons:

Nothing. I'd encourage the hotel to make more of its suitability for cycling trips however - we loved all the little cycling related touches around the hotel that made us feel at home

Superb staff that we're extremely helpful.
Pros:

Right on the main square., yet it's quiet at night. We were there to cycle, and we could store our bikes securely. They even loaned us a pedal spanner when it was needed. The could not have been more accommodating, and the breakfast was good, even with a cyclist's appetite.
