A Pleasant Stay

delicious breakfastcute hostsbeautiful decorunavailable roomunreliable service
The breakfast was delicious and felt homemade! The hosts were cute and they provided great recommendations for local dining spots. The decor was beautiful. The history of the place made it special.
Adrian contacted me a few days prior to my arrival to say my room was unavailable. This situation left me without accommodation options during a busy period! I think it could be more professional.

renovated buildingspacious roominformation bookcute hosts
The building is beautifully renovated and full of character. The room was spacious and included all necessary amenities. I appreciated the comprehensive information book provided. The hosts were cute and always available.
I noticed the soundproofing could be improved. I occasionally heard noise from adjacent rooms, but it was very slight.

Breakfast featured fresh local produce. The yogurt included fresh fruit and granola. The full Welsh option offered a traditional start to the day. I found the dining room to be excellent too.
