Every thing in the kitchen that you desire including a basic breakfast. Bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the double glazing on all the windows.

9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (2)
"Very friendly hosts with a very clean property and the self help breakfast offerings are a nice touch. Bathroom and toilet situation is a little unusual in that they are situated in the small entrance hallway so I would recommend bringing a dressing gown as it feels like you could bump into the hosts here (but we never did) - the shower has excellent pressure though.
