    Where to begin... We had a meal, an overnight stay, and breakfast. The woman who greeted us, who is clearly the owner, is quite a character and sorely lacking in professionalism. We felt like we were bothering her; nothing was organized, and we felt uncomfortable. She seemed constantly irritated. We understand it's a difficult job, but the customers are the ones who keep you going and shouldn't feel overwhelmed. It's a shame to ruin such potential with this lack of training and competence in this field. The meal and breakfast weren't worth the price, but they were tasty! €12 for a breakfast that wasn't prepared in advance and with items arriving piecemeal... we could tell the woman was overwhelmed from 8:30 in the morning. Special mention goes to the waiter, who was smiling, pleasant, professional, and clearly mistreated by his bosses. I hope they realize that it's thanks to him that the service runs smoothly! In conclusion, the room was clean and lovely, the only downsides being the heat and the bed, which consisted of two single mattresses. Sometimes you have to be willing to question yourself in order to improve. It's a shame because everything could have been perfect in this setting!
