10/10 Exceptional! (17 reviews)
For a small town without many options to stay this was an A property and we will book here for future visits. Easy check in process, very clean property and small touches like bottled water, snacks and hair dryer in the bathroom made us feel welcome and taken care of. I would recommend this property ...
