the owners were friendly and very accommodating. i needed advice on where to park, and they were very helpful with directions. the room was well-stocked with tea, coffee, and biscuits, and there were plenty of fresh towels. the homemade breakfast was amazing!!! it included choices of cereal and toast.
the pillows felt too hard on my side of the bed, but they were soft on the other side. i also noticed the bed seemed a bit old and could use some updating.

The breakfasts were homemade and amazing. i especially appreciated the choice of cereal and toast. Everything tasted so fresh. the hosts were also very friendly and cute. the room was very clean and cozy
i found some small issues with the room i stayed in. the stairs were quite narrow, and i was on the top floor, so i had to be careful not to bump my head on the ceiling. the shower was also a bit temperamental, a little frustrating. the room got quite warm when the weather was nice
