    Fantastic guesthouse. The rooms were spotless and the bathroom was big with a shower and separate bath, both super clean and nice. When we booked we were told there was no breakfast during our stay as it’s off season but they managed to make us breakfast anyway which was delicious. The hosts Joy and Elci were very friendly and helpful with plenty of recommendations. The location is ideal - just walking distance from town. The bed was very comfy and I slept so well. Thanks for a lovely stay!
