The breakfast was really great. The baked goods were baked by the owners and delicious and served in a bright dining area next to the garden. The location was outside of town yet still walkable from the center and castle. Of course an extremely pleasant couple who made us feel at home :) Much love! Great stay!

All the main attractions are in walking distance. The host margaret is a lovely lady who went beyond our expectations of a great host - welcoming, friendly, great recommendations, even sent us some things we forgot. Highly recommended staying there!
