The breakfast included several choices. I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit salad each morning. The hosts offered helpful recommendations for local walks. The provided maps and guidebooks helped me a lot (I love hiking!).

The television remote needed new batteries.

The location was accessible to both towns.

The flimsy curtain let in daylight early. It woke us up at 4 am. I wish they used something thicker.
