mixed feelings about THE stay

dirty carpet stuffy room
The carpet seemed uncleaned and THAT bothered me. i also think the breakfast fell short of expectations. It tasted like a frozen dinner re-heated. a minor thing was that i couldn't quite control the room temperature. the thermostat was confusing, and the room felt stuffy.

excellent breakfast AND convenient parking

ground floor breakfast signup helpful host evening arrival
I found my room on the ground floor very convenient upon my evening arrival. My room included everything i needed. It was ideally equipped. I appreciated Ross's breakfast signup system, with breakfast prepared each morning as i arrived. Ross proved easy to talk to and very helpful .
the location was slightly out of the way. it was still an easy walk to the centre.

Really good Stay with a Wonderful Host

convenient room well-equipped room efficient system helpful assistance
The ground floor room was convenient upon our late arrival. The room was well-equipped with everything I needed (such as toiletries and extra pillows). Ross had an efficient sign-up system for breakfast, prepared fresh each morning, which I found helpful. Ross was easy to talk to and always ready to assist with any questions.
I noticed a slight squeak from the bed during the night, although it didn't significantly affect my sleep.

The location allowed for a pleasant walk to the town center, taking about 15 minutes. Many buses nearby take you to the busy part of town. I appreciated being close enough to easily access amenities, yet far enough for peace and quiet.

i appreciated the off street parking. the location was good for accessing the town center with just a short walk. the breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice. ross was very kind and accommodated my dietary needs with gluten free bread.
the set of instructions on how to open and close the windows should be pasted. it would improve guest experience and reduce confusion.
