And almost 4 weeks of travel this was the best hotel I’ve had. It was the most generous and personal accommodation. Karen thinks of everything, there several small treats and goodies. While most midprice hotels to everything they have to, Karin offers generously the best hotel breakfast I’ve had in a long while and makes the effort just for two parties. Let yourself get spoiled.

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.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in the perfect town centre location, so just seconds from shops, restaurants and takeaways. Whilst there was no designated parking space, we had no problems at all parking on the road. Unusual location being in the church grounds with a graveyard as a 'garden' but we loved it! Certainly not noisy neighbours! The cottage itself had everything you could possibly need which we all thought was very thoughtful. Nice comfy beds and stylist furnishings throughout. There had recently been a leak causing a bit of damage to the bathroom floor but the host popped by to explain but it certainly wasn't as issue. The cottage was warm and cosy. The information book left in the cottage was really useful with maps of good walks to do to see the best of the area.
