This property is in the main street, Market Street, and so close to everything. Parking is on the main street in a Pay and Display park. The rooms are at the back so relatively quiet. Our beds were comfortable and our bathroom was clean and roomy. We didn't have breakfast so I can't comment. Ivan was friendly and helpful with information and recommendations for dinner.

Le bar à vin qui se trouve à l'entrée du bâtiment est très sympathique, et nous avons eu la bonne surprise d'entendre une playlist de chansons françaises au petit déjeuner le lendemain matin (l'effet Michel Sardou?). Personnel très sympathique!
