The hotel is adjacent to an old church, and is close to the town centre, 5 minutes' walk down a small slope. And the room is very spacious and clean. The lady Erika who prepares the breakfast is very welcoming, understanding and efficient. She confirmed my choice of how the breakfast was to be made every morning.

    The owner was so lovely and welcoming. The hotel is so classy and luxurious, I felt like lady of the manor for a night! I didn't want to leave. Love how they've redecorated since taking over, it's just beautiful!
