What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very clean and well appointwd and great location. Improvements could include replacing the front door lock and the lock beside the downstairs loo as they were challenging to open. Windows were locked and so very warm inside. Finally, investing in some decent pillows would be great.providing some toiletries in the bathrooms would be favourable.
