useful kitchen areagarden accesssunrise viewlimited parkinglate check-in timesmall spaces

The room had a useful kitchen area with a fridge. Doors led onto the garden. I appreciated the fantastic view of the sunrise.

I found the parking situation challenging. The listing stated room for six cars. I think it could only fit four smaller vehicles. Check-in time was also rather late at 4 p.m.

The room size and comfort met my expectations. The location was quiet, and parking access was easy (a definite plus).

I didn't like the absence of staff. I found a very stained chair in my room. I didn't feel comfortable sitting on it. the floor had some stains.

The room was lovely and well kept. It included everything needed for a comfortable stay. I especially enjoyed the direct access to the garden area, it was beautiful. Streaming services like Netflix and Amazon were readily available (a nice unexpected bonus!).

I noticed some rubbish in the car park area and near the front door. I hope they address it, it would definitely improve the arrival experience.
