“I found the place to be a solid choice for its value, with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere and helpful staff. The home-cooked breakfast is certainly a highlight, and the rooms, though perhaps showing their age, are kept clean and comfortable. Its central position overlooking the main street is a definite advantage for exploring the town.”
