The hosts were superb. Steve and Claire were really cute. My bed was comfortable with fresh, clean-smelling linen. There were nice tea and coffee facilities available.
There was no hairdryer in the room. I found no mirror near an outlet to dry my hair. The kettle was too big to fill in the tiny sink!
