    It has a shared bathroom but we coped.

    The hostess was teriffic, and the room was large. Breakfast was supplied at no cost, along with a lovely cup of coffee

    It was quirky which we liked. The beds were very very comfortable. We hired a car and found the location great.

    Not private bathroom

    The room on booking.com says it has private bathroom, but it doesn’t. There’s only one bathroom for all rooms, and the shower doesn’t support the many people using it. I went to have a shower after 3 people and the shower was oscillating from burning hot to ice cold, so I needed to use the seconds between the changes, which made my shower 3 times longer.

    The property is cute and easy to park. It’s a short drive to city center. The room was clean, the staff extremely friendly with great energy.

    The description of the room should be improved: I've found it and booked it searching for a room with "Private bathroom" on Booking.com. But it turns out the bathroom was actually shared with all the other rooms. Granted, the room description actually specified both "Private bathroom" and "Shared toilet", so, my bad for not noticing earlier the "Shared toilet" part. Still, I'd suggest the owners to fix the description removing the "Private bathroom" part, which is not correct, to avoid any misunderstandings with future guests.

    The host was very kind and attentive. She even offered to prepare us something to eat in the morning, although our rate did not have breakfast included. Thanks! :-D

    It was about a 20 minute walk from town, but it suited us because we were on motorbikes and Mary allowed us to lock them in the back yard.

    This place is from another time, if you don’t mind a few cobwebs on the lights, dogs and chickens this is the place for you. Mary is fantastic and will bend over backwards to make your stay comfortable. The accommodation is straight out of bed knobs and broomsticks with metal frame beds with big duvet covers and throws with large old wardrobes and display cupboard in all rooms. Massive breakfast with scones, cakes, cereal and a huge fry up.

    Lots to put you off if you expect a hotel: creaking floorboards, old fashioned windows, no telly. Expect a few flushing attempts on the toilet😄

    Want a unique experience? This is the place! No sugar coating, just a quirkiness that reflects the owner's personality. Absolutely great breakfast!!!

    Very old house with narrow staircase, hauling our suitcases up and down really was a bit of a chore (smaller suitcases needed). Needed the space heater to take out the damp feel… I have RA so dampness is a factor. Not sure any of us liked the shared bathroom routine.

    Mary was very helpful and bubbly. Beds were clean and comfortable. Location was great. Breakfast was lovely… thank you so much.

    Great spot. Close enough to the city and to where we wanted to be. Really great communication with warm and friendly host. Clean comfy beds, warm well ventilated homely rooms. Lovely breakfast, lots of choice of fruit pastries and cereal. The kids loved freshly made pancakes and the owner, Mary. We are looking forward to returning soon.

    The shower run hot and cold, literally, alternating every 12 to 13 seconds. I timed it so I can figure out when to step back.

    Mary is a really welcoming host. The lavender on the pillows was a nice touch, and I appreciated the variety of choices of tea. We got there very late and was happy to found several restaurants still open just 3 blocks walking distance.
