Lovely eclectic mix of old and modern

Very interesting to have one end of the house very old and the other quite modern! The bed was comfortable which is always good. My husband is tall and hit his head on the kitchen entrance twice (he is tall but possibly was not careful enough) so an addition of hazard tape/foam might be an idea. The only other recommendation would be a shower caddy to hang over the shower head with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Most B&Bs include this, even if they are inexpensive brands. I'm glad I brought some small sample bottles just in case. No complaints though, just trying to better your accommodation for others.
