Really good Experience
cute host good-sized room private garden
The host was cute. I had a good-sized room. The room was quiet and clean. I had my own garden to relax in, it included outside seating. Breakfast was good, and check-out time was convenient. There were treats on arrival, including a mini fridge with bottled water and Prosecco.
I found no shower, only a bath. This was not ideal, though the rest of the stay was nice.
Dining

Breakfast is served in a luxurious kitchen area, with fresh cooked meals prepared to your specification. The seating area for dining is really excellent. The presentation was very professional.

amazing host gorgeous home quality furnishings extra treats
Annie is a amazing host. Nothing seemed too difficult. her home is gorgeous. It makes you feel welcome. the rooms boast comfy quality furnishings, and the bedrooms give direct access to a relaxing part of the garden. breakfast set us up perfectly for each day ahead! plus, there were extra little treats which were a superb touch.
The tiled floors caused some noise travel when other guests arrived. I heard everything.

uncomfortable waterbed tiled floors
Breakfast was very good. Annie was a very good hostess.
The shower did not work. There was only a bath. The waterbed was uncomfortable. I did not sleep at all due to this waterbed and sounds from other guests. The floors are tiled, sound really travels.
