Great little guesthouse in a perfect location

Perfect little guesthouse in a fantastic location near the church. I had a single room downstairs which had a separate entrance round the back. Noticeably quiet as didn't notice any outside noise. Room was very warm, generous size for one person and had own private bathroom and a comfortable bed with a desk a chair also. Kettle in the room with a selection of teas. Shared kitchen and separate dining area with free cereal for breakfast. Met the owner and was a great person to chat to.

Being downstairs the window was high and no view, but as was staying in the winter was dark outside anyway! But this would not put me off booking again.

Freezing nightmare without electricity

The location was very convenient.

The room no. 10 was freezing! I had to wear my winter jacket inside. The fan heater was broken. The host replaced it and gave us an extra blanket. But it didnt help as we had no electricity nor light in our room after midnight. We had to pack and leave in the darkness. Needles to say, the stay was terrible.

Overall a good stay :)

The location is great and the host is very attentive, helpful and friendly :) We had trouble with the heating but host fixed it immediately without any hustle.

The only thing that annoyed us was that the triple room is not exactly how it looks in the pictures, it does not have any kitchenware or microwave in it. only the induction hub, we had to get the utensils from shared kitchen upstairs. I would have probably chosen a cheaper option in this case.

I would highly recommend Eric the Red

The owner made sure we had a good experience and allowed us to park the car in his spot.

Over all it was a great place and location.

Perfect

The stay was amazing, really friendly staff and the location is amazing. Room was comfortable!! There was cereal available and tea/coffee which was an added bonus! The staff really made this. Really friendly and lovely!

The shower in our room was very open and meant there was no route act, we were in a twin room as a male and female. This wasn't an issue at all as there is a shared shower that can be used and is lovely, so we just showered in different rooms which worked for us, but worth being aware.

Extremely recommend this accommodation

The house is great, the location is definitely good ( only 2minute to the church), rooms are clean and warm in winter, with good view of the yard. The vibe is so good with warm lights and quality decorations, very artistic. The kitchen and dinning room are really nice and convenient to use. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking tools and cutlery. There is free milk, coffee and cereal in the fridge everyday. The dining room must be my favorite part of the house, the long table and the chandelier are perfect. You can sit at the table and watching the snowflakes falling down when it snows. You can self check in when you arrive late, you can also get help from the host and the staff if you need, they are kind.
