Historical Charm and Friendly Service
The staff was genuinely friendly and always ready to help. Their kindness added a special touch to my stay. I found the provided white towels and bedding clean, a detail i always appreciate. I especially enjoyed spending evenings in the charming pub.
The stairs presented a bit of a challenge. Particularly when carrying luggage, IT would have been nice to have assistance.

double room fresh milk comfortable mattress challenging stairs sanitary box dated facilities
the standard double room was spacious. fresh milk and water were provided in the fridge. the mattress and pillows were comfortable (i slept like a baby!).
the stairs to the room were a bit challenging. the toilet had a sanitary box, i thought it smelled a bit off. the facilities seemed dated and tired, they could use some upgrades.
