Fantastic Room and Great Parking!

beautiful accommodationon-site parkingshort walkoutside box
The accommodation was beautiful! I thought the no breakfast concept was excellent and it kept the price down. On-site parking was available! The location is a quick five minute walk to the town center! I will definitely return.
I did struggle a bit to put the keys back in the outside box! It was minor, though a little inconvenient.

The host was very helpful! They allowed me to leave medication in the fridge. That level of consideration was really appreciated. I can't praise it enough.

I noticed that skipping breakfast means the price is replicated. It is a good way to keep costs down. Plenty of options are available nearby anyway.

Acceptable stay with some issues

clean roomsewage smellfaulty trap
The room was clean and provided what I needed for a few days.
I awoke one night to a sewage smell in my room. The shower waste trap seemed faulty. I had to block it with a wet flannel. The towels were also not replaced during my four-night stay.

A kettle sat ready with tea and coffee, a comforting setup. Biscuits accompanied the hot drinks. This made for a cute treat after a long day exploring.
