Everything - the view was absolutely stunning to wake up to, the bed was comfy and there was loads of space. We had fresh muffins baked most days and whilst there aren’t facilities to cook or clean that was never an issue. You’ve still got a kettle, toaster etc. There’s secure parking and you feel totally safe. We had an incredible time and the host was so lovely!
