Family-run guest house with a warm welcome. Easy check-in, clean and quiet room with a comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Walkable from the rail station and the centre of town - both about 15-20 minutes away along roads where I felt safe. I would happily stay there again.

Good location, just a short walk into the city.
Nice breakfast and more than enough parking just outside.
Only complaints were a very soft bed (personal preference) and a shower that lacked pressure.
