We really enjoyed the stay and the place, we recommend it! Easy access, quiet, clean, there was everything we needed in the kitchen, very organized, and loved the chickens that live there. As downsides, there was one time during a storm when it started to rain a bit inside the building. Also, a portion of the back of the wardrobe in our room was broken so we could see into the hallway. And lastly, after the storm, the front door code pad stopped working so we had to use the side doors.

We had fun feeding the chickens and the best part was… we can eat the eggs! House is super clean. Room is comfy. They have a toilet and bathroom on each level, so you don’t share with so many people. And it also located in the city centre. Easy to walk everywhere. Great facilities and well designed. Really recommended.

Our 3 year old had great fun stroking the chickens and looking for eggs in the charming garden and hobby area and playing with the provided toys or going over to the shady play ground nearby. We were very impressed by the standards of the kitchen and the fridge stocked with home grown eggs. Close-by we also enjoyed some unusual variations on hamburgers (we lucked on hamburger night when all the burgers were nearly half price!) and some lovely home made deserts at the local pub.

A nice place to meet other travelers, nice location, friendly staff. This is the second time of have stayed there, and it won't be the last.

Bathrooms too small

Pros: Clean room
Cons: Bathroom bigger
Location: good location
Don't stay in room 1 it is next to the external door so you hear everyone who goes through it. Also the bathromm is tiny.

Hi Leslie - Thanks for your review. If is really interesting the different views of people. Our most regular guest always prefers to stay in Room 1 and we have never had a complaint about front door noise. We intentionally separated each shower and toilet and added a vanity so that guests had greatest accessibility. They are not huge but not tiny either. Some rooms have much larger ensuites - including one with a full accessible ensuite. We look forward to having you stay with us again soon. Chris Owner - Stay Social
