The hosts were accommodating and kind, offering great assistance. The location provided convenience, near both town amenities and scenic walks. Our room was exactly as described, very comfortable. The hot water supply was plentiful, ideal for showers.
The bathroom had substantial condensation after showering, made all surfaces wet. This was quite inconvenient, needing attention after each shower.
