solid stay near town
clear communication lower floor beautiful view safe location
host kim was very communicative before arrival. i got offered a lower floor room because of the stairs. the room has a beautiful view from the window and everything i needed was there. the location is convenient for getting to town, as a solo traveller, i felt safe.
the wall heater took a little while to heat the room.

lovely view friendly owner great kippers low ceiling top floor many stairs
The room had a fantastic view. The owner was very friendly, he was. I also enjoyed the kippers at breakfast, they were great. I liked the size of the room.
My room had very low ceiling. It was also on the top floor, so I needed to go up many stairs. Carrying luggage up and down was not fun.
