    homemade breakfast
    personal service

    True gem for the weary traveler

    You know, there was this homemade breakfast, the kind that reminds you of a time when life was simpler. I got an amazing steak that was cooked just right, and the butcher himself gave me advice on it, such personal service you don’t expect at a place like this.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but honestly for what you get, it's acceptable.

    delicious food
    comfortable bed
    slow shower

    great food but disappointing shower

    The food served was incredibly delicious and a highlight of our stay. The ambiance was pleasant, creating a lovely atmosphere for our meals.

    The shower pressure in our room was very slow, which was quite frustrating.

    phenomenal breakfast
    huge fluffy bed
    tight parking spaces

    Just had a splendid stay! The breakfast was phenomenal, especially the perfectly cooked eggs and sausages. Plus, that huge, fluffy bed made for a comfy night's rest. Can't wait to visit again!

    spacious room
    comfortable bed
    beautiful terrace
    slippery shower

    I had an excellent stay at a lovely hotel where the spacious room had a huge comfy bed and the perfect shower. I enjoyed relaxing on the terrace with beautiful views and sipping coffee in the garden. The shower floor was a bit slippery, but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment! ☕

    brilliant staff
    cozy room
    fantastic steaks
    lack of black-out blinds

    We had a lovely stay at this spot! The staff were absolutely brilliant, especially when we needed an early check-in for a wedding. The room was cozy and perfect for our family. The restaurant's steaks were to die for!

    My kids wished the room had black-out blinds.

    missing handrails
    stairwell concern

    The Charming decor with antique furnishings made me feel right at home, while the attentive staff were like a warm hug, ensuring I navigated comfortably around the hotel.

    Handrails in stairwell would be beneficial.

    friendly staff
    tasty steak
    cozy bar area
    limited seating

    Awesome steak experience!

    We stayed for 2 nights and it was a blast! The steak was seriously the best I've ever had. The owners really know their stuff. Staff was super helpful, even when we had a mix-up with our dinner reservation—they got us sorted out right away. The bar area was cozy, but wish there were more seating options.

    missing handrails
    stairwell concern

    I truly enjoyed the charming decor of The Curious Fox, which featured antique furnishings and period details. The staff were exceptionally accommodating, making it easy for seniors like myself to move around and feel at home.

    A few handrails in the stairwell would help.

    friendly staff
    great location
    delicious food
    no fan
    low beams

    the best part of the curious fox was def the staff, so warm and welcoming! plus the location was smack in the center, super easy to check out the castle and market. food was always delicious, like every meal was spot on. our room was really cozy too. honestly felt like we were at a friend's place rather than just another b&b.

    but the only annoying thing was there wasn't a fan in the room, and it got kinda hot at night. also watch out for low beams if ur tall, i bumped my head a few times!
