“Small kitchen area, could have had the microwave off the worktop and placed on a shelf above to give more worktop space for dishing up meals and making tea etc.”
, shortage of crockery and cutlery, nowhere to put washing up or bowl, except in the bath in the bathroom. instead of 1 armchair in the main room (bedroom) there could have been a small table and two small dining chairs thus giving people somewhere to sit and have their meal or tea rather than sitting on the bed having their meal.
The hosts were very friendly and accomodating and the bedroom and bathroom were nicely decorated and clean.

It offers a comfortable place to sleep in a stunning four-poster king-size bed, refresh, and enjoy a simple breakfast before heading out for the day. To make mornings a little easier, we've included a compact kitchenette with the essentials for preparing light meals and drinks. Following previous guest feedback, we've also added a table and two chairs. The half-moon table folds out to provide a larger dining space when needed.
