Really good Stay

warm greeting pristine room comfortable bed

Dawn greeted me warmly. She ensured my partner and I felt at home right away. The room was pristine and smelled fresh. The beds were comfortable. The location is excellent because it is a short walk to various restaurants and shops.

The stairways to the rooms were a little tight for luggage. I hope this issue can be addressed soon.

fluctuating temperature small room

The hot water situation was not ideal! It fluctuated a lot during showers. The temperature went from hot to cold, annoying. the room felt quite small, especially with luggage. There was barely any space to move around once we had our bags unpacked. I did expect a bit more space for the price I paid.

The location is excellent. It is steps from the high street. a mile walk takes you to the lake. the host left complimentary breakfast items in the room. daily room tidying was a nice touch, including neatly folded pyjamas.

the bathroom was a bit smaller than i expected, though it was perfectly functional.
