Okay stay at this location

good selectionhot drinksnarrow spaceweak pressure
The breakfast offered a great selection of cereals, bread, pastries, ham and cheese. It was also nice that hot drinks and biscuits were available anytime. I found the room perfect, and sharing a bathroom was not a problem.
The toilet space was VERY narrow. I had to sit sideways, as my knees could not fit in the gap to the wall. The shower was added in a narrow space. You can stand upright, but not much more.

i was thrilled about the location, close to town with easy bus access. i found clear instructions for everything upon arrival. the breakfast was healthy and excellent, with the proprietor available to answer questions. i really enjoyed the other guests and interesting conversations.
I noticed some noise from other guests. Conversations carried on late and impacted sleep, though earplugs were available.

I had easy access to my room and the host communicated all details well. Tea and coffee were available with biscuits. A good pub was very close by. The location is a reasonable walk from town.
The bathroom facilities in my room were very small. The toilet space was too narrow. I had to sit sideways because my knees could not fit. The shower space was very narrow, and the water pressure was weak.

I was disappointed with a couple of aspects. The noise was a problem. I could hear other guests too clearly, and it disrupted my sleep. The sound insulation needs improvement. I noticed a musty smell in the carpet. It was unpleasant.
