A great room away from home.
A very comfortable spot to stay while away on business, or indeed if you wanted to enjoy a B&B leisure experience.

Poor experience!
The room experience was terrible - the carpet was wet and the room was smelly from what the owners indicated was a water tap that was left opened by the previous guest - but why not afford me the option to cancel my reservation, then!
