Our hostess put the heating on for us so we arrived to a warm, inviting room and also arranged for us to check ourselves in on arrival. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom with a walk in shower and its own heater, we slept very well. We cooked ourselves toast, bacon and eggs in the communal kitchen with nice cups of tea from the supplied goods in the fridge. A great stay and we will definitely return.
