    Was surprise to find a typical split level home. The room was small but well kept. We had to change arrival times several times and the innkeeper was quite accommodating. Both innkeepers were very pleasant and quite enjoyable company.

    Highly Recommend the Birches

    Hard to get there during night time, the best thing is to take a cab or bus nr 32.
