The room wassuper clean and cozy, with a kitchenette that was well stocked for easy meal preparation. The tranquil setting by the stream was good.

Slightly distant from the main attractions.

Got well heated and good-sized room with a patio. It was nice to find a microwave oven, an electric kettle, and a fridge...

Wi-Fi signal was very weak, made me a little nervous.

The second-floor unit had a small balcony with two chairs and a table, perfect for enjoying the sounds of the nearby stream. It felt secluded despite being near the main road, and the kitchenette was well-equipped for meal prep.

The proximity to the street meant we couldn't keep the curtains open for natural light, and we found the need for grab handles in the shower a bit frustrating. There were issues with finding plugs for the bathtub and hand basin, made some tasks a hassle.

The hotel was exceptionally comfortable, greatly enjoyed river view from our double room. The staff was helpful, amazing friendly, and responded promptly to requests. We got a room with a bathtub. The position of the venue was perfect, so close to everything.

thoughtful touches

withdrawn location

The space was beautifully designed with thoughtful touches, and

The hospitality we received was excellent. We appreciated the owners' friendly demeanor and their recommendations, which enhanced our experience. The rooms are spacious, and the kitchenette functionality was a real plus for self-catering. Although it's slightly withdrawn from the main action, it made for a quieter night. A nice stay!
