generally adequate stay

perfect locationbuilding characterwater pressuretoilet flushing
the location was indeed perfect. i found a lot of character in the hotel and it suited my needs for the duration of my stay.
the shower facilities were lacking. i experienced suboptimal water pressure and that impacted my ability to have a refreshing shower. the toilet also needed several attempts to flush properly.

lovely stay

thoughtful touchgood soundproofingprivate parkingfirm bed
the hosts arranged champagne and birthday decor for my partner, i really appreciated this thoughtful touch. the room overlooked the main road, though the noises were minimal thanks to good soundproofing. private parking was a great convenience, it made our arrival and departure very easy.
The bed was quite firm. A softer mattress topper would be beneficial.
