    Nothing!

    Quiet location (so peaceful). Loved the two thrushes visiting outside our window. Pleased by notice asking for quiet during night hours. Light breakfast good to have.

    Could hear the conversation from the next room, need wall insulation.

    Rooms are small but comfortable and warm. The host was amiable and accommodating. There is plenty of parking off-road. The house is quite modern and located on a housing estate, The name is a bit deceiving but that shouldn't be a worry. There is a kitchen where you can make breakfast with tea and coffee facilities. Towels are provided and the one-suite shower is nice and powerful.

    I had a small room and a small bed for a double bed for a couple. And the rooms did not have any storage cabinets and without a bathroom. The bathroom was in a common area but was exclusively for us.

    The Place was clean , and well kept. The owner was very helpful even when we asked him to help us with a problem we had.

    Our room was a bit cramped when including our bags, I misunderstood the separate bathroom not accessible direct from bedroom so a bit inconvenient.

    Kitchen and lounge facilities were spacious and comfortable. Easy access to town centre.

    The fact owners just walked into house whenever they pleased not ideal at all

    Had a great stay house was good but,we didn't agree with the fact the owner just walked in whenever they felt like it ,we could have been walking about in the nude (we werent) but that's not the point Sunday when we were to check out at 10-10.30 they came in to the kitchen and started to cook there breakfast at 9 o clock ,we were not ready to leave but still they continued to stay in house and start to strip beds and cook breakfast we were not impressed at all needless to say we wouldn't book again

    Not enough closet or shelves. Also, the hosts don’t want to prepare breakfast, but it would have been nice to supply butter, cheese or yogurt.

    Bread and milk were available. The kitchen equipment was very nice. Easy walk to the town.

    We had a very small bedroom with the small double bed jammed into the corner. The room is really a single not a couple room. We could hear the conversations and snoring of the people in the adjoining room.The bathroom was not ensuite it was out the door and 3 steps down the hallway. To be fair, the other rooms did have ensuites and were larger.

    It was within easy walking distance to town centre. It was clean. Our bathroom was clean and modern. Although no breakfast, use of a full kitchen and cereals, toast was provided plus spreads and drinks. You could cook your own meals/breakfast. It was also a clean area.
