Our room was clean, quiet, warm and very comfortable. The bathroom facilities were also clean and very convenient. We were able to do a large load of laundry, but the machine did take longer than expected. There were ducks and chickens outside and a cat inside. There are games and activities to do in the common room. Check-in information was clearly communicated and easy, staff were knowledgeable on the local area.

Somebody cooked something smelly in the communal kitchen and the smell lingered in the hallway. Just be aware that it is a small town and the supermarket and cafes/restaurants may close earlier than advertised - but everyone was very happy to help us find what we needed.
