Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

comfortable bed great view tea facilities

The room was immaculate , and the bed was comfortable. The window provided a great view. I found tea and coffee facilities with biscuits and bottled water , which was very nice. I appreciated the large , fluffy towels in abundance.

The absence of staff and breakfast was noticeable , even though I realize this is common in many B&Bs now. I think prices might be high , especially when considering the limited interaction with staff. The room Ulva feels too small for a prolonged stay.
