"Excellent stay, very clean, warm, cosy and comfortable. Slept very well in good beds. Disappointed I didn’t have the room promised on the ground floor and struggled with the number of stairs to the top floor. Also the change of room changed the dynamic of my stay. Excellent availability of Netflicks. Very friendly hosts, good general standard of breakfast though cold (apart from toast. To be more ‘continentsl’ I might suggest adding cheese and meats. Bathroom was lovely, excellent shower though...
