adequate stay with heating issues
cold room thin duvets
the room felt quite cold, especially considering the time of year. i found a dead fly on the windowsill and the window was open when i arrived. after contacting the owner, she mentioned the heating was scheduled to come on later. it took a while for the small radiator to warm the room sufficiently. the thin duvets didn't help much either.

Comfortable Stay with Excellent Amenities
coffee facilities fresh milk ironing board
The room provided coffee and tea facilities, including fresh milk in the fridge. I found an ironing board and iron very useful. The shower worked perfectly. The bed was comfortable and the room was nicely decorated, so I felt at home there.
I missed a shaver point and shelf in the bathroom, they would be helpful additions.
