helpful staff lovely breakfast stained carpets electrical sockets
The staff members were helpful, especially Rita. She helped us find a quieter table in the restaurant and gave us advice for a nice place for a meal in town. The breakfast was lovely (especially the fresh and hot dishes!).
The bedroom was disappointing. The carpets were badly stained. I found no electrical sockets by the beds (which was inconvenient).

dog sausage canal view town access
the hotel offered a sausage for my dog at breakfast, a detail i found thoughtful. my room provided views overlooking the canal. i found access to the town centre excellent and very convenient.
the car parking situation was somewhat odd as cars parked behind me, made exiting the space a little difficult.
