Townstal Farmhouse is known for its excellent, freshly cooked breakfast with a good selection, including fresh fruit. Guests appreciate the spacious and comfortable rooms, some featuring luxurious round baths and conveniences like a fridge.

The room was lovely and had everything I needed. I found the owners and staff to be friendly. They were very helpful too. The breakfast was great. It was delicious.

The shower was not great! The shower head was broken. The welcome was poor and there was very little interaction with owners. The access to the first-floor rooms was very steep.

the cooked breakfast included fresh fruit already cut in a bowl which i appreciated. my room included a fridge and fresh milk was provided daily i used it for my dog's food. the location worked well because i could easily walk down to town and take the number 90 bus back up the hill.

the milk containers in the room were unfortunately out of date.

The breakfast had a good selection and was cooked well.

The location was not ideal because it was at the top of the town. Attempting the climb back up requires walking boots. I found this inconvenient. The information provided for getting around the town was very good, still I struggled with the location.
