Andrew was helpful! The room was very comfortable. I enjoyed dinner. Portions were large and tasty. I also enjoyed the dog snuggling up to me while I worked!

The room backed onto the reception area. It was possible to clearly hear conversations at night despite the television being on.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. A conversation started immediately upon arrival. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The room felt just like home, but the bed was even more comfortable than the one I have at home.

The room was quite small. The pictures made it seem larger than it actually was. It was still manageable, but I needed to be creative with storing my luggage.

The single room was small. there was virtually no space for luggage. furthermore, the shared bathroom was not only used by other rooms inside the house but also by those camping. This lack of exclusivity was disappointing. the continental breakfast consisted of limited items such as bread, cereals, and instant coffee.
