a few issues , honestly
shower condition nonfunctional key
the shower was not a highlight , it really put me off. the front door key did not work , so i could have been stuck in a fire. the bed also creaked. there was nowhere to put my water or phone , things you would need during the night, frankly.
The English cooked breakfast was quite good. The staff addressed guests politely (everyone was "Sir" or "Madam"). My room was clean and reasonably spacious, with a front-facing view. I also found the hosts to be great.
The walls seemed thin. I could hear the TV next door.
