The owner offered restaurant recommendations and directions, as i am coeliac (gluten free). she let us store meat in a fridge that we bought from a local butcher, so kind!!! the king suite attic room had a sitting area with coffee, tea, comfy seats and a television. i really liked the building's decor. It felt cosy and intimate.

i noticed a lack of plates or cutlery despite the microwave and toaster available in the room. there was no milk provided with the tea and coffee either, a bit inconvenient.
