Fantastic Stay in a Beautiful Spot!

convenient access safe roads large room smooth arrival
The public transport access was really convenient with buses and trams so close. A short walk led me to a Tesco store and safe roads surrounded the building. I found the room quite large with comfy beds. The cute reception from Mr David made my arrival smooth and easy
The electric shower needed some figuring out for optimal use but this was a very minor thing.

Charming Stay, a true find!

sound insulation beautiful garden public transport cute staff
I found the staff cute. They remembered my breakfast preferences. My room offered excellent sound insulation, i didn't hear any other guests. The garden was professionally maintained and created a relaxing atmosphere. The proximity to public transport simplified my trips (i made them frequently!).
The shower's water pressure was a little lower than i expected.

adequate stay, some issues

convenient location necessary amenities beautiful exterior small bathroom uncomfortable bed shower operation
The location was convenient. I walked to the city center in 20 minutes. bus stops were also nearby, it provided easy access to transportation. the house itself had a beautiful exterior. the room had all necessary amenities.
the bathroom felt a bit small, it lacked space. the shower operation required some figuring out. the bed was not very comfortable. a spiral mattress and a narrow width contributed to this issue.

The shower was tricky to operate, it took some effort to get it going. I found the bed rather firm. It could use a softer mattress. These things detracted a bit from my visit.
