good breakfast local information excellent location heavy sash windows older people bus stop
The breakfast was very good. The hosts provided local information. The location was excellent (just a short walk to the town center).
The sash windows were a little heavy to lift up. I think this might be difficult for older people. The bus stop was a five-minute walk away.
