Totally quiet and peaceful getaway. Would suit couple who want to eat out rather than cook as the cooking facilities are very basic - a table-top fridge, microwave and 2 electric rings with no work surface. Ok for breakfast. Would also work for a group as part of a booking with other properties on site, as they are all around a courtyard together.
