At the great new MicroBar on the main street, the '& Bed' part of the equation is 10 budget
beds in five rooms above the bar - it might not be a great option for light sleepers, but it's
a great choice for beer lovers. The guesthouse was still in the pipeline when we visited;
check MicroBar's Facebook page for updates.

Australian Vicki moved to town in 2010 and took it upon herself to restore the old post of-
fice opposite the church. The two resulting one-bedroom apartments make a superb home
away from home. Each boasts a full modern kitchen, a welcome pack of food, oodles of
room and Scandi-chic decor. Winter prices are almost halved, making them a bargain.

Legend has it that Marlene Dietrich once stayed at this charming boutique hotel, which
dates from 1884. The individually decorated rooms blend period furniture and modern
style. Outside there is an irresistible stone hot-pot, and in the basement there's a cosy bar.
