This was an ideal venue for me for a four day trip. It was so refreshing to stay in a place with a bit of personality after some of the soul-less uniformity that we are more often offered. The owners are attentive but not intrusive. Lovely breakfast. It is located near the train station, so you can hear trains, but I don't mind this. Well located for buses etc but distances to most things of interest are walkable.
