    The room looked way better than the booking.com pictures. The welcoming was thoughtful. Gavin is kindhearted and a great host. The breakfast was really great- I enjoyed it. The property is located close to restaurants- I didn't go out but could see the surrounding area has a great lively vibe. Oh and the dog was friendly..didn't terrify me at all..
