Check in was very relaxed and straight forward. Our host was extremely friendly and helpful, he couldn’t do enough for us to make our stay perfect. Keen to share his local knowledge of the best place to go when we needed to purchase something. Our room had everything that you could need. We would have no hesitation in staying again if we were in the area.
