The manager went out of his way to make our visit enjoyable. We had seen there was a film in town we wanted to see and he magicked up a tasty pasta dish early for us. And good advice and a map for a walk about this lovely town for the morning.

A previous (less than flattering) review in October 2024, with photographs, show that NOTHING has been done to renovate the decor of the room that I also stayed in. It appears that in 2023 it was the same! Sadly, I sense some unacceptable flannel from the host? I could say a lot more, but I’ll simply say, that if you are planning on staying at Candlesticks, consider before paying in advance and look at your room/inside the premises before you commit. Shame, the experience was disappointing for a number of reasons.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The owner was very welcoming and appeared from somewhere to check me in fairly promptly. He did everything to help me; even my strange request to borrow a tin opener. Breakfast was left in the room, I liked this self service. The room was clean with supreme white bed linen and the bathroom nice; a tad dated but for the price I can’t complain. Unfortunately, the single bed felt lopsided, so I didn’t sleep well. Probably due to the old walls of the house, so not the owners fault. It was a hot night but fortunately there was a fan in the wardrobe. All essentials are in place. Location is superb. Such a beautiful, old town and picturesque walk; Like stepping back in time. I really enjoyed my stay. It felt safe and relaxing!
