we stayed in the red squirrel room. our host gave us a very warm welcome and showed us to our comfortable room with en-suite, everything was explained clearly. the location was excellent, it was a short walk to the shops and restaurants.

the rubber shower hose wasn't flexible enough and would kink if you tried to move it too much.
