    Bathroom was separate to the room but you had a key so it was private to yourself, large room and you can adjust heating as you please, plenty of tea and coffee provided plus an hairdryer. Fab for our 1 night stay near the city

    Host was nice we had a nice great big room with a lovely bathroom, location was good, away from centre so it was quiet but local busses right next to it to get whereever we needed to.

    Very friendly and welcoming owner, the room was lovely and spacious. There was a small shopping centre across from the house and city centre not too far to walk, so it was very convenient
