All you needed for a stay away from home. The tea, coffe and milk were a nice touch. Especially after a long drive. Perfect location for exploring Hornse and surrounding areas, close to bus stops. My only suggestion would be a mattress topper to make the bed more comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
