- Beautiful rural location, within a 30 metres of a Michelin Guide placed restaurant
- Very warm hosts (for the most part)
- Suite rather than a room with separate sofa area, and small shower & toilet room
- It's somebody's home rather than a hotel or an inn. This surprised more than one of us, guests there
- The hosts are very traditional: so don't check in late (after 10) or expect, like me, to have to get hotels.com to call the hosts to open the door, and then, by way of welcome, be asked to explain oneself
- Thin walls: you can hear your neighbours, and no doubt, be heard
