Pros:

Staff & bar/dining room were great. The place was old but clean, well maintained, & comfortable. Our room was huge!

Cons:

Too bad they don't do breakfast. We ate in our room, & there are lots of restaurants elsewhere in town, though.

Endroit agréable pour visiter la ville.
Pros:

Les clé étaient facile à récupérer, les informations quant au logement et les environs on été appréciés. C'est bien situé par rapport aux lieux d'intérêt et la chambre est bien dans un espace agréable, le parking étant un atout.

Cons:

Tout allait bien, sauf la cuisine et les toilettes à partager.

Parfaitement parfait
Pros:

Tout était super ! Très joli et propre. Très bien équipé. Un jardin charmant où passer du temps au soleil dès le petit déjeuner. On se sent comme à la maison. Le fait que ce soit aussi un pub et resto est génial car on y mange super bien pour un prix très raisonnable.
Sinon le centre est à 5mn à pied donc très pratique aussi. Enfin, le couple qui gère le lieu est top et très sympa.
Bref, je suis ravie d’avoir séjourné ici et je reviendrais avec plaisir.
