The breakfast was exceptional in quality of produce! Penelope and her husband were superb hosts and we felt very much at home. We appreciated the shared kitchen area with its fresh milk for tea/coffee
Having a kettle in one's room, rather than outside in the shared kitchen and more coffee pods and some teabags in the room would have been welcome. Having said that, the room and facilities were otherwise excellent.

A lovely and quiet location, the room had an amazing view of the mountain. The owner Penelope made us so welcome. We were very impressed with the eye for detail! The espresso cups were Illy and not just the cheapest from the supermarket, beautiful flowers in the room. We definitely will be back at Penelope’s!
