Great little house over 3 floors, Rooms very clean and everything in the kitchen we needed except microwave but that wasn't an issue for us.Fast communication from hosts. 'Comfiest bed ever' was one of my childrens' responses when asked about his sleep, Eldest slept on a pull out which looked uncomfortable but he said it was fine, age 17 and nearly 6ft. youngest also slept on a pull out and said it was comfy, age 9No garden , but we literally ate in the evening, as out all day and slept in the place. so again, not an issue. great location to the town. No parking but free parking very close
