The bed was comfy. Couldn't use oven. Only because of my foot, I found it hard to navigate the steps. It was a pleasant stay
Great little spot, good kitchen, comfy bed and lovely sunny yard to enjoy dinner and a wine on. Would have been even better if there'd been hand towel, facecloths and bathmat. Road noise was intense at times but overnight was quiet.
