The breakfast was quite good.
The parking situation was not ideal. I asked for more milk and was told I was already getting the maximum, even though the room said to just ask. The owner's response was disappointing, I think.

The hosts provided a really lovely breakfast. It was very close to the main street.
Parking arrangements are poor there. I asked for some extra milk, and the reply was its 8 a day. I did receive a jug. John's attitude was not what I would expect from the owner.

Comfortable Stay

generous portions easy access
The breakfasts offered generous portions. They were very delicious and kept us full for a long time. The rooms were clean.. storage space was ample. I found the location excellent. It allowed easy access to both town and nature walks.
Parking arrangements are not ideal. I requested some extra milk. The response indicated a limit of 8 units per day. While I received a jug of milk, I noted a sign in the room that instructed to ask for more milk if needed.
