Lack of maintenance and overall upkeep of the place. We looked forward to the Spa pool as advertised however we were told it required maintenance. We read on the website that there would be a small selection of coffee, cereal and toasts however there was none during our stay and it had appeared to be removed from the website. Enquired about the winter deal (pay for 2 night and get a 3rd free) after the phone call the owner changed the deal online and didn’t honour it. Beds were also uncomfortable and extremely squeaky.

The property is like a villa from the last century, it has high ceilings and beautiful windows. Every bedroom is dedicated to an animal and has well made, funny graffities on some walls.

ich war sehr froh über das check in so früh, dass ich nicht warten musste. Das ganze Haus war sehr einladend und freundlich. Das Zimmer, Küche und Lounge waren gut eingerichtet. In der Küche war alles vollständig, um richtig zu kochen. Der Kontakt mit den Besitzern war herzlich und sehr hilfreich.

frank

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Service was poor from the start. I had to wait some time while she fussed over an American couple. When I finally got served a very poor attitude come across. Didn't mention wi fi to me nor towels/face cloth, I had to come down & ask. Sink taps at end of hall for monkey room-hot tap didn't work at all & cold tap so loose you could the whole tap through 90 degrees. Our dorm fairly full & I on top bunk. Some clown came in at midnight & turned his cell phone on & started fossicking amongst his gear. Woke me up & god knows how many others. Place was in poor state of repair. Look run down.

Winter break
Well-located near the railway station. Wood-burning stove keeps things warm and plenty of hot water for showers and washing-up. I spent a few days here between train services and explored by renting a bike and a car.

Lovely people, gorgeous historical premises with good elevation and views from the front verandah. Very clean, well organised and welcoming. Owner’s pets will not tolerate any right wing captain America nonsense and will chase red baseball caps. Highly recommend.

Quaint hostel in central location. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the hosts were lovely and there were ample seating opportunities outside on the porch and in the backyard. The only negative thing I have to say is that the bathrooms were a bit old and cold. I would definitely stay again though
