Acceptable Stay with a Few Drawbacks

lovely ownerscomfy bedsmall roomlow flow shower

The owners were indeed lovely. They couldn't do enough to assist me. The bed was comfy, and I found a fridge in my room, helpful.

The room was small. the shower had low water flow, difficult to rinse properly. I only had access to one BBC channel and a talk radio station on the TV.
