Over priced for value of... Liked: The privacy of having your own room The location was close by to the big tourist location Disliked: The bed was both uncomfy and too small (I'm 6ft) The ceiling was open so sounds travelled with ease which kept me awake most of the night The shower is weak and takes a long time to heat up

Amazing scones! Liked: The location was lovely. The access to some food & amazing fresh baked with love scones was fantastic. Everyone very kind. Disliked: More just a warning it is small sleeping quarters - I likely would not recommend if you're quite tall I'd imagine it wouldn't be comfortable.
