Five stars!

Our host was amazing and offered true-to-life recommendations on food and activities when asked. The room was comfortable and quiet. We rarely heard others, though the location was full. It was within walking distance of restaurants and attractions. We had a great time.

The property was basic, but clean and comfortable. My room on the back side was quiet, the bed was comfortable, the shower works well, and the owner is friendly and helpful. But as there is no security plate, the door lock could be popped open without much effort.

A lovely place in a handy location

We had a lovely spacious twin room, very comfortable and clean, nice bathroom. A bit of confusion over breakfast - I wasn’t expecting any, as none mentioned when booking, but there was information in the room that said breakfast was 8-9am - clearly an old sign but it wouldn’t take much to remove this and put a new one up. We had no trouble parking in the side street just round the corner, as we only stayed overnight, but this might be more of a problem if you were there during the day because there were restrictions.

Friendly owner

We booked the room with breakfast and the owner informed us she’s not providing breakfast because of COVID (should be fixed on websites). Hotels.com also sent me an email stating that this property is 370m from the castle and its about 3km. Overall was a very nice stay though and the owner of the property is a really nice lady
