Excellent room
The room was spacious and well equipped. Excellent shower and nice toiletries. The host Simon was friendly and very helpful. Parking right outside the room.
The area is commercial but very well located for walking into town and for the wine trail . Some traffic noise from the main road.

Awesome experience!
Such a great choice for my stay!! The owner, Simon, picked me up at the train station. My room had a little balcony, which was perfect for the additional room service breakfast. TV with Sky was the easiest to operate. And they even have punched coffee--not the instant crap you find in most hotels. Nothing fancy here, but the service is a big wow! Highly recommend!
