Really good Stay

local area advice fresh preparation large room
Richard provided local area advice. He recommended several places to visit. Breakfast featured fresh preparation. The room was large and airy.
Shower temperature regulation posed difficulty. I experienced an excessively hot temperature. Adjustments proved unsuccessful.

adequate stay near local attractions

convenient location helpful hosts spacious room unadjustable shower dismissed concern small sink
the location was convenient, a short walk to local pubs and restaurants. the hosts provided helpful suggestions for walks in the area. i found the room to be spacious and bright (it was a super king bed).
The shower was too hot and difficult to adjust to a comfortable temperature. a window had been opened during my absence, i mentioned it to the owner, but it was dismissed. the bathroom could use some updating. The sink was small.

Good Stay, Some Minor Issues

breakfast choice cute host bedroom bathrobe hot shower opened window privacy invasion
I liked THE breakfast. It offered loads of choice. The host was cute. He wasn't intrusive at all. There were bathrobes in the bedroom which i considered A nice touch.
The shower got too hot. I could not get it to A decent temperature. I burned my hand on it, so i gave up. The bedroom window had been opened while we were out. I felt it was an invasion OF privacy.
