Missing a few nice touches

The room was clean enough. The sheet was too small for two adults and didn’t fit the bed. No extra linens provided. Only 2 towels and 2 washcloth’s for two of us for 3 nights stay. Chairs in the room were well warn. It provided a basic place for us to enjoy the area but could be a little better.

Great location but still peaceful

It’s just a short walk to town (albeit down a steep hill). The room and bathroom was nice and we didn’t hear a lot of noise while we were there. The only thing that prevented us from giving it a five star rating is that the refrigerator in the room shut off, made loud popping noises what as it expanded and contracted, which was disruptive to sleep. Now that someone has mentioned it I’m confident the owner will take care of that and the next person will have a five star stay :-)
