"Warm, welcoming, comfy & cosy."
The bedding, towels & toiltries are excellent quality & were very much appreciated. A couple of minor issues were resolved quickly by the owner. Thicker duvets or some blankets would have been appreciated & there was no hairdryer, which us unusual. That said, we hope to return & will recommend to others.
