Loved the room tucked away and private with great facilities for my dog. Therewas a cold spell while i was there and the bathroom was pretty cold, but the shower was excellent. Host was great, there when needed. Close to food outleys and supermarket. Great night in with netflix and other digital services. Would stay again.
