Wonderful Stay!

amazing hosts quick walk fresh fruit

Amy and Paul were amazing hosts. They really care about their guests. The location is a quick walk to the centre. Breakfasts were very well planned and prepared. There was also coffee, juice, yogurt, and fresh fruit cups always available very early (I loved that!).

The TV in my room didn't work.
