beautiful stay good food adequate accommodations poor cleanliness bigger breakfast steep hill
I found the hotel a beautiful place. The food was good. My accommodations were adequate after a few nights.
The room cleanliness was substandard. I think a bigger breakfast would be better. I noted the hotel sits at the top of a very steep hill.

a decent stay

separate building helpful staff little courtyard rude owner dated room mouldy bathroom
our room was in a separate building from the pub, nice. we had a little courtyard near our room with a fish pond.. it was not our first time here. the staff was really helpful.
the male owner seemed rude during checkout. i found his interpersonal skills lacking. the room looked dated and i noticed some mould in the bathroom. i also saw stained walls in the bedroom.

An okay Stay

bathroom mould overpriced breakfast
The bathroom definitely needs attention. I noticed significant mould in the shower area. I thought the breakfast was overpriced (it included scrambled egg and beans only), considering the cost of other options.
