The price was worth the stay

It was our first stay in a lighthouse keeper's inn. The room was very clean and tastefully decorated. There was ample light entering the room from both the north and south sides. We stayed for two nights and the kitchen had ample utensils and plates to cook food from scratch and/or warm prepared food.The only thing that we would have had liked would be more rugs on the floor and more mats in the bathroom. We like to move around in the room barefooted, but the floors were too cold for us.The outside scenery and the climb to the top of the lighthouse has been most memorable.The hosts were very responsive and even though we arrived very late, all instructions were perfectly communicated to us. We would like to visit the place again.
