The room was charming and comfortable, though I did notice the Wi-Fi was a bit weak in the top floor room. Overall, it provided great value for money and a lovely homely atmosphere. 😊

The room was clean and comfortable, with a lovely little balcony that was perfect for some morning sunshine. However, I did encounter a few issues with the WiFi not working consistently and a problem with the toilet flush towards the end of my stay.
