small bathroom glass shelf
Breakfast was very good. A bus stop is conveniently located right outside.
The bathroom turned out to be ridiculously small (I am not a big guy). I practically had to sit on the toilet in order to brush my teeth. I kept banging my head on the glass shelf above the toilet.

Acceptable stay overall

great breakfast helpful owner early parking small en-suite tired towel
I found the breakfast fantastic. There was lots of choice. The owner was very friendly and helpful, allowing me to park early. I visited the bus stop right outside the premises.
The en-suite felt small. It was more like a cupboard. I thought the towels felt old. They were very tired.
