    crispy fries
    friendly staff
    stunning view
    quirky layout
    security concerns

    The Bernese Fries at Park Takeaway were a culinary highlight – crispy and perfectly seasoned! The friendly staff made our experience relaxing, and the stunning river view just a stroll away was a cherry on top.

    The layout was a bit quirky, only one shower and toilet for ten guests, and the dorm didn't have the best security vibe. Still, comfy beds made it bearable for a night.

    comfortable bedding
    good breakfast
    thin walls

    Good breakfast options. Clean and comfortable bedding.

    Thin walls lead to hearing every step and conversation from neighbors. Only one toilet and one shower creates a bottleneck during busy times. The dormitory layout in the main house lacks privacy, with only short walls separating spaces, which may be uncomfortable for taller guests.

    nice stay but room for improvement

    The property had a lovely, charming vibe with tasteful furniture. The bed was extremely comfortable, making for great sleep! I particularly enjoyed the old country decor and cleanliness throughout. The view from the area across the street was delightful, enhancing the overall experience.

    spacious verandah
    quirky chickens
    chill vibes
    morning noise

    I had such a wonderful time during my stay, especially enjoying the chill vibes on the spacious verandah overlooking the river and discovering the quirky chickens wandering around the garden. The lounge area was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring, and I loved the option of using the kitchen to whip up a quick meal. Just a heads up, some morning noise from outside woke me up unexpectedly, but it didn't ruin my overall experience! 😊

    comfy beds
    clean bathrooms
    well-equipped kitchen
    lack of privacy
    thin walls

    The single bed dorm was decent for a quick stay. Comfy beds, which helped with getting a good night's sleep. The shared bathrooms were clean, and I appreciated the cozy communal kitchen—it had everything you needed and was very clean. The only downside was the lack of privacy in the dorm. the walls were a bit thin, but for a solo traveler like me, it was manageable.

    A Cozy Stay with Thoughtful Amenities

    Our night in the deluxe double room felt like home. We appreciated the stocked kitchen for meal prep and the relaxing ambience. Don’t miss The Yellow House café nearby for delightful coffee. Just check bed details if you’re tall. A lovely experience overall!
