friendly host quiet room
Liz was very friendly and helpful . the location of the guest house is beautiful. The rooms have everything needed for a short stay. it was also very quiet, though the guesthouse is next to a street.
The en suite bathroom was really quite small! the shower wasn't all that comfortable for a tall adult. It felt designed for children because of the cramped space.

Adequate Stay with Minor Issues

clean room convenient parking strong pressure small room
The room was clean. Parking the car in front of the building was convenient. Instant porridge, coffee, and tea were available. This was sufficient for a quick morning meal.
The shower had very strong pressure without verticality. This caused the water to spray everywhere. The room felt tight with three people and luggage.
