First of all a big thank you to Percy who runs the place. He made a big difference with his genuine smile and excellent recommendations. He really took care of us making us feel like home. The breakfast was great, the beds were as comfy as they can get, location is central, yet peaceful, nothing more to ask for.

    The room looked way better than the booking.com pictures. The welcoming was thoughtful. Gavin is kindhearted and a great host. The breakfast was really great- I enjoyed it. The property is located close to restaurants- I didn't go out but could see the surrounding area has a great lively vibe. Oh and the dog was friendly..didn't terrify me at all..
