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.

The room was clean and well stocked with the necessities- that had conditioner which is always a bonus. Check in was easy and the staff were so friendly. Very close to everything, with a Night and Day next door. Really enjoyed our stay- even better we could take our dog!
