The room is very clean and spacious. Comes with full utensils, oven, kettle, coffee, tea, shampoo, soap.. etc

Shower water pressure a bit small, maybe just need to change the shower head.

Nice clean room with everything we needed for a short stay. Comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower. Good value for money. I will note that we stayed in the newer block of rooms, there are some of the original ones which I can't comment on.

What a wonderful place to stay. Not only was it clean and comfortable and very close to the village but our hosts were the kindest people, making sure that we were very well looked after in our three nights' stay. Very highly recommended.
