Really just a private house, about 5 minutes back from the beach, on the edge of a large country park. The area’s so quiet that the arrival of the postman is the day’s highlight, and everyone stops to enquire after each other’s health if they ever meet anyone else in the street. Comfortable room, like a child’s bedroom in pastel colours, with absolutely no distractions by way of TV, radio, clock or anything else electronic. En suite bathroom as spotlessly clean as the room itself, with a knitted cover for the spare loo roll, and polite little notices everywhere (only in German, natch) saying how often the towels will be changed, and how to behave to cause least disturbance to other guests. This place is respectable. I felt guilty even thinking about locking my room when I went down for breakfast. There were 3-4 other places laid for breakfast each morning, but I never saw or heard another guest. Even the management (elderly father and daughter) was almost invisible. I was checked in by the daughter, who speaks English, but never saw her again. The father brought me breakfast each morning in silence with a sepulchral smile, and then vanished back behind the kitchen door.
10 minutes walk from the station, with a local bus every half hour if you’re feeling lazy.
29 euro a night single, plus 2.60 tax, including generous, but carefully counted, ham, cheese and bread breakfast.
