The shower was unique... was a hose shower but you could not lift the shower head off the wall, had to pull it down through the hole it was sitting in to use it as anything other than a rain shower. It is also high up, I'm not tall so that was a stretch. Very good water pressure.

Great value for money, with friendly helpful owners. everything was clean and in good working order. The room was quiet, and the bed was comfortable - both of which were great for a good night's sleep. Recommended

I booked a room at very short notice as travel plans changed. I received a text shortly after, thanking me for my booking and asking what time I was arriving (it was already after 7pm) and if I needed anything. Room was warm (heater on) and welcoming. Thank you
