It was ideal for an overnight stay
Pros:

The location was excellent. We didn’t have breakfast and the room was ideal.

Cons:

There wasn’t enough tea or coffee for two people to have the same type. There also wasn’t any milk.I don’t know if they hadn’t been refilled or that is normal. In my BanB I refill after each guest with enough for their stay.
