“There's a certain magic in sleeping within castle walls, and the rooms here are spotlessly maintained. The setting is ideal, complete with a park and exceptionally friendly staff. Being able to explore the village, with its cafes and bakeries just a short walk away, is a genuine plus.”

the staff seemed alright, and the room was spacious enough i suppose.

the heating was busted and it was freezing all night. trying to sleep in those conditions reminded me of torture. breakfast was a continental affair, mostly shrink-wrapped sadness and stale pastries. definitely not worth the price paid for the stay.

suited locationovergrown bushesmissing cleaning

the location suited my travel plans just fine.

The room was a bit tired, i think. the bushes outside were overgrown and scratched against the window when the wind picked up. It was quite annoying. also, nobody bothered to clean the room or replace towels during my entire stay (how lazy!).
