Loved the room. Very clean, located away from the owners, shared loo and shower. Easy access. Good location.
I slept in til after 10.00a.m on my last day. I wanted to be away early!!!

There is a quite noisy fan that runs through the night.

I'm one to complain but not keen on memory foam pillows. Everything else was fantastic for me
DarrylNew ZealandLovely hosts.
Lovely hosts. Nice fruit breakfast plate provided but no toast provided despite being provided with butter and peanut butter.
This is advice for the lovely hosts.
Unable to lock the room for security.
Tiny shower…
