A great mix of Airbnb intimacy with being in another person's home, but all the formality and privacy of a proper bnb. Loved the quality of the sheets, dressing gown, toileteries, tea and coffee in room. Breakfast was amazing too! Would have loved an egg, but that's just me being fussy. Toirtoise was cool too!
