awesome breakfast and friendly hosts!

fresh breakfast friendly owner convenient location

I loved the freshly cooked breakfast with butchers bacon and sausages (it was really tasty!). the owner, chris, was super helpful. He really went the extra mile for me . i also appreciated the convenient location and how close it was to many attractions.

The hallway had a noticeable odor. It smelled strongly of animals and unwashed clothes, a bit off-putting.

Location
