Adequate stay overall

friendly staffmaintained gardendated roomstrange smell
The location was quiet and suited my needs. The staff at reception were friendly when I checked in and out. I enjoyed a drink in the garden one afternoon. The garden was large and seemed well kept.
My room was small and somewhat dated. The bathroom had a strange smell that resembled gas. It lacked sufficient space for my belongings. The bar also closed relatively early, a little inconvenient.
