Check in was easy and host was more than accomodating especially with the bad weather. The premises was immaculate, bathroom was amazing and bed comfy. Just far enough out of town that it was quiet but close enough to easily get to town with ease. Local takeways also top notch too .Definitely recommend

I stayed here while completing my first Ironman in March, and it was the perfect place to stay a couple of days. The host was incredibly lovely and welcoming, and made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The place itself is beautiful and has all the amenities you could need for a comfortable home away from home. It’s in a peaceful, quiet location which made it perfect for getting a good night’s sleep. It’s also conveniently located and not too far from the city center, making it easy to get around. I’m so grateful for such a wonderful stay.
