Had a fantastic stay! All of the instructions on how to find the property, how to access the building and our room, and even the places to park were very clear and helpful. It was very clean, comfortable and quiet. The town was great too. We would not hesitate to book this stay again. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable experience.

Great place! Excellent location and super clean. It really worth the price! I totally recommend this hotel if you’re visiting this magical place. This hotel doesn’t has car park as such, but free perking spaces are available less than 2 minutes walk. Keep in mind that the majority of places to eat open late and close early.
