We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Everything was great and as described. The flowers, milk and butter were a lovely touch! The parking space was a bit tight as we have a bigger car. The downstairs is also compact but the two bedrooms are spacious and we had enough room for two adults and a dog. Thank you for a great stay!
