The bed was extremely comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The owners were very friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main street and with beautiful views of the garden.

The room was a bit small and we found it difficult to store all of our belongings. the house was a bit noisy at times, with creaky floors and doors.
