The host John contacted us the day before we visited and provided clear information we needed. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean, with a heater in the bathroom so we could dry our clothes. The breakfast was amazing, so many options and was very delicious cooked by John in the morning. He was very friendly and kindly provided us more information about travelling around in the area.

Great location in a cute little town and within 5 min walk of several places to eat. The rooms were clean and had such pretty decor. It felt so quaint and comfortable. The price for staying was a good deal, and they offered a really great breakfast, which was really large. Each item is much bigger than we expected. The owners were really accommodating and sweet. We had a really great stay, and will definitely be looking to come back again in the future.
