Wonderful Stay Experience!

warm greetingspacious roomconvenient parkingcomfortable bed

Peter greeted me warmly upon my arrival. Margarita was very friendly during breakfast. My Double Room was clean and spacious. The location allowed me to easily walk to see sights. I found on-site parking very helpful for my vehicle. The room included towels, soap, and a hairdryer. I also had tea, coffee, and milk provided. Breakfast had a cooked option of toast and scrambled eggs. The house has a garden adding a nice touch. It was like a true home away from home. I enjoyed the king-size bed in the room. I found it very comfortable. The ensuite bathroom provided added convenience. The walk to the town centre was short and pleasant. The hosts clearly take pride in maintaining a cute atmosphere. My room had windows that opened easily. This allowed fresh air and a good night's sleep. I also had a fan to make things better on warmer days. Peter and Margarita were always available and helpful when I needed anything.

The accommodation felt a bit dated. this did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.
