Super Place to Stay!

cute hosts tasty product fab gin
John and Julie were so cute when I arrived. The breakfast included fresh, tasty products and was amazing. In the evening, the bar offered a nice place for a drink, with fab gins to select. The prices at the bar were very reasonable.
The room was a bit old and it requires some work. The bed made noise. I think the shower could have more pressure.

John prepares the breakfast and caters to what you want. There was fresh fruit with yoghurt offered each morning and it tasted lovely. I did not need any lunch after that big breakfast each day.
