Karen and lawry were very nice hosts. They offered good attention. i will definitely return. breakfast was great. I could have had as much as i wanted. the hosts were very knowledgeable about the area.
one day i was woken up by drips coming from the ceiling, and someone said the people above had flooded their bathroom. i don't think it should have leaked as easily as it did.
