friendly owner cheerful attitude tea selection small room missing reception difficult turn
the owners were very friendly. they looked after us with care and a cheerful attitude. the beds and pillows were very comfortable. we found a good selection of teas and cookies in the bedroom, great.
I didn't like a lot of things. there is no reception as such. the room is small. Even for two people, it is very difficult to turn around.
