We loved our stay in this beautiful old building, which has had lots of work done. We are a Family of 4 Adults & had the room with 3 sets of bunk beds. One set of bunk beds are around a corner so you have privacy. The beds were clean & comfortable, as were the bathrooms/showers. There is a kitchen to use which is a plus. Towels & bedding were provided. We arrived just after check in time, but we called ahead & a lovely man (sorry cannot remember your name) waited for us. He was very nice & polite. There are lockers in the room, but we didn't feel the need to use them, it felt very safe & we would definitely stay again if we ever come that way. Thank you.

Very comfortable place and a really nice host

The place was set in such a calm area, we had a great nights sleep! Throughout very clean, tidy and comfortable, all services accessible. The host was very kind and accommodating, even when we arrived 2 hours late due to a traffic accident en route. A very approachable individual. We would gladly stay again.

Clean, comfortable and peaceful

This was a one night stay for our 6-membered family in room with 6 beds with shared bathroom and we were a little worried if this accomodation would be comfortable enough for us to rest. In the end it turned out beyond our expectations - the beds are solid and large enough, there are three huge and clean shared toilettes/bathrooms and there is also clean and equipped small kitchen and dining room for sharing, so we made a breakfast in the morning. The house is very nice and quite, in the beatiful and peaceful surrounding (definitely worth of visiting for more than one day) and the hosts are very kind.
