fantastic stay!

nice decor comfortable bed
the room had nice decor and a big, comfortable bed. i really felt safe because i could enjoy the live music and go straight to my room without walking outside. i loved that the owners were so cute and the pub atmosphere was fantastic (i even tried some local beer!).
i noticed the mirrors were a bit too high on the walls for me. more hooks in the bathroom for towels would be great too.
