amazing hostsshort walkearly timestoilet paper
Julie and Chris were beyond amazing hosts. The location is a short walk to restaurants and the train station. Rooms had thoughtful treats LIKE haribo and tea.
The early restaurant closing times should be communicated to guests. I think guests should be allowed to use the microwave in the kitchen. I found NO toilet paper upon arrival.

The B&B enjoys a convenient location near many restaurants. Bars and shops are also within a short distance. The hotel is away from the main road. I found this a peaceful area for a good night's sleep.
I noticed a lack of information regarding nearby dining options with closing times. I think that early restaurant closing times should be communicated to guests upon check-in, especially for late arrivals. I found no spare rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom. I feel that rooms should be stocked with extra supplies.
