Love staying in room 7 and have stayed 5 or 6 times. It meets my needs perfectly, is always spotlessly clean and the self checkin/key access is great.
Maybe it’s time for a smaller kettle 😏

Communication with host was excellent and helpful, access to the keys no problem. Room very clean and very comfy bed. Tea Coffee availability ample. Shower excellent.
Main front door was tricky to open until you got used to it. TV didn't work so no morning news with our coffee. I Reported these things on departure and host was apologetic and said they would have come and fixed them if I had said. But we were not there to watch the TV. The Sink in the on-suite did not retain water so shaving was a bit of a pain.

Easy communication with owner Room was ready earlier than expected. So nice to have a mini fridge in the room for milk etc. Bed was fairly comfortable and bathroom compact but useable
Easily found free parking nearby - not sure that would happen in the busier months
Difficult to open front door - needed maintenance. Property is up for sale so front access a little overgrown and some finishing a little tired. Room 5 was at the front so there was road noise, a water feature that ran all night and on Friday morning the Market over the road was being set up early doors
Shower pressure was poor

Very Clean and good location
Wifi in our room (8) was ineffective because the signal was too weak. The sink taps only gave a low flow when fully open. Front door lock tricky to open (key had to be jiggled or pushed in a particular way).
