Sharadhi 9/10

Pros: Charming, old world-style room boasting a view of the castle in the distance.

Cons: I only wish the heating were a stronger as it got a bit chilly at night. Other than that we had a lovely stay!

Maria 8/10

Clean and comfy, felt safe

Pros: Instructions to get in easy to understand. Was only a short distance from city centre. No problem parking.

Cons: Only minor - I would have liked a blind at the bathroom window. Although the glass was frosted, the window faces the main road.

A lovely stay in a great location, Barbara was very kind and a lovely host.

Pros: The room was clean and comfortable, we had all amenities in the room and have no complaints. Barbara was an excellent host.

Cons: Coincidentally we had an early start and a busy schedule on all days we stayed, so we did not require breakfast - I am not sure if breakfast is typically included but if not, then that may be something to consider in the future.
