Booked a solo one night stay and checked in around 9pm. The lovely host left the keys in a safe place for me. The room was very cosy and big. I had my own en suite that was modern and had everything I needed. The bed was comfy and also had a cosy sofa! Breakfast had lots on offer and very delicious.
