The location offered was great and lovely next to centre or about a 30min walk as well as 1 minute walk from the bus stop. Besides, the property was 2 km away from a combined museum. The double room didn't seem appealing on photos but it was elegant. I really enjoyed having porridge and fruit, the breakfast was incredible and sensational.
