The breakfast provided a good start to the day. There were many options. The location of the house is near the town centre. This made getting around easy. The car park had sufficient space for vehicles.
The garden looked not maintained. The grass was uncut. There were a few old tables. Dog waste bins are missing.

The free parking behind the guesthouse was so convenient. Breakfast was delicious with extra toast. The location is very close to town, and I took a short walk along the canal.
The stairs looks a little messy as work on them is unfinished.
