A few drawbacks but overall positive.

interior designquirky interiorfriendly hostsexcellent locationawkward kitchenfood boxno internet
The waltzer car in the garden was quite amusing upon arrival. The interior design had a quirky charm. The hosts were friendly and available when needed. The location is excellent for exploring the local area. I think lots of thought and love has gone into this place.
The kitchen area felt awkward to me. The food box was not ideal. The internet was down . This also disabled the TV, and there was no standard free TV. I'm glad there were some DVDs available.
