    We were very late, but the hosts waited up for us. We felt very welcome and the rooms are beautiful. Beds are extremely comfortable and the facilities are great. Even though most of the town, incl the guesthouse had now water until our departure, we were provided with jugs of water to try wash up and brush teeth. Breakfast was great, with homemade waffles.

    There is quite a lot of road noise in the front rooms, but thankfully we were tired enough to sleep through it.

    Close proximity to the airport: The hotel's convenient location near the airport makes it a great choice for travelers needing an overnight stay before catching a flight. As mentioned in one of the reviews, it is just a short drive away from the airport, ensuring a hassle-free journey. Attentive and accommodating staff: Based on the feedback provided, the hosts at this hotel go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay for their guests. From waiting for late arrivals to providing breakfast packs for early departures, their attention to detail and friendly service truly make a difference. Comfortable rooms with a cozy bed: Guests have commended the hotel on the comfort of their rooms, particularly the twin room mentioned in one of the reviews. The description of the bed being cozy and comfortable is a positive highlight for those seeking a good night's sleep during their stay.

    Noisiness of the fridge: According to one review, the fridge in the room was mentioned to be slightly noisy and disruptive at night. However, this could be considered a minor inconvenience that does not overshadow the overall positive experience at the hotel.

    The guest house we stayed in during new year's eve was conveniently close to the airport, which made our arrival and departure very easy. The owners were hospitable and friendly, making sure we had a good breakfast every morning. We also appreciated the clean and tidy room that was serviced every day.

    There were a couple of downsides to our stay. the room was quite small, which made it difficult for us to move around and store our luggage.

    We stayed for a night in a guesthouse located in a convenient spot, pretty close to the airport. the hosts were welcoming and gave us helpful tips on where to find a great restaurant for supper. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had good Wi-Fi service. the breakfast was great, including waffles and scrambled eggs. the garden room was lovely and gave us a relaxing vibe.

    The guesthouse didn't provide shampoo and forgot to restock tea on the second night.
