MaggieUnited KingdomGreat that it was so close to bus station.
The stairs were tough going as we are both over 70, but that's not Murrays fault ,I could have checked.
HolgerGermanyLeider nicht so gut.
Murray hat als Gastgeber viel rausgerissen und am Frühstück gab es nichts auszusetzen.
Ein 10 m2 kleines Zimmer (Zimmer 12) als Doppelzimmer anzubieten ist echt grenzwertig. Aber gut, da hätte ich selbst aufpassen…
