Carmel is a pleasant host and easy to communicate with. The premises have an extremely comfortable bed and great shower facilities (both of which I rate highly). The other facilities are absolutely adequate and the location suited me perfectly. The only negative for me was the presence of the "live in" dog which spent almost all the time that the host was at home inside. I am a dog lover with our own dogs however the constant need of the host to have to verbally restrain the dog was quite unsettling (maybe it just doesn't like men) particularly whist trying to have an evening meal.
