quiet stay near the castle

great location short walk generous breakfast safe area
The location was great. It wasn't in the city centre but only a short walk to the castle. it took just a few minutes to drive from the station, a definite plus for me. the breakfast was generous with many options. I found it quite satisfying. the area had lovely propertieswith a country atmosphere, and i felt safe walking around during the day.
the shower needed updating, specifically, i found it difficult to control the water temperature.
