10/10 Exceptional

This property far exceeded our expectations. We expected a room with a bathroom and nothing else..... for the price we paid we were happy with that. The beds were comfy. The owner was friendly and chatty. The rooms were well stocked with jug, toaster fridge. There was a fan for the hot nights. It was close to town. The gardens made it seem like we were on a tropical island get away. It isnt a fancy hotel but we were pleasantly surprised with this property.
