Old charming house 10' walk from centre and bus terminal, facilities were good enough for the price paid. highlight is the big outside garden with Mountain View. Breakfast is very basic; staff is fun. For the price, I would consider!

Nice place. Good double room with bathroom. The gardens and sitting areas were great. Staff don’t speak English and there were no other English guests so we didn’t find it friendly.
