amazing stay!

spacious rooms friendly hosts
the rooms are spacious and very comfortable! there was a ready supply of biscuits to have with cups of tea. breakfast was lovely and the hosts were really friendly and hospitable. i loved the two nights i spent there. thank you!
Be very careful when you book your room. some of the rooms have genuine ensuite bathrooms, they are within the room. some of the rooms do not have ensuite bathrooms. You might have a private bathroom, but it will not be accessible directly from your room. so make sure you pack pyjamas or take a bucket with you!
