Acceptable Stay
fresh fruiteasy accesssmall windowheavy duvet
The provided breakfast included fresh fruit. I also got Greek yogurt as I requested. The location provided easy access to nearby sights.
My room was in a barn conversion. The room was quite dark because the window was small and at floor level. The duvet felt too heavy for a warm night, which affected my sleep.

i noticed the room was quite dark. the barn conversion design included only a small floor level window. i believe some brighter lighting could greatly improve the ambiance.

The room was clean and the beds were comfy enough.
The duvet was way too heavy for a summer night. I did not sleep well. The breakfast menu was lacking. I had no idea cereals or fruit were options until I saw other guests eating them. The porridge was disappointing.
