small bed heavy blanket

the hosts were cute (and full of smiles i think). breakfast was cooked and presented well.

The double bed in my room was quite small, a bit of a squeeze. the blanket felt too heavy. the washbasin was small. There was no mixer for warm running water, just cold.

Satisfactory Stay

many choices fresh ingredients heavy blanket inadequate washbasin

The breakfast offered many choices. Fresh ingredients were used, and the dishes were well-prepared. The location was also useful for accessing nearby attractions. I visited the harbor and enjoyed several coastal walks.

The blanket was quite heavy, so I felt too warm during the night. The washbasin was also inadequate. I missed having a mixer to get warm water.
