Really good Breakfast and Comfortable Room

warm welcomecar parkingcomfortable bed
i had a very warm welcome. i found valuable help with the car parking. the room was excellent and the bed was comfortable.
heating did not come on until evening in our 2nd floor room. the hotel had been closed for a week before arrival so likely it took a while to reach the top of the house when turned on. shower temperature could not be lowered so it was too hot.
