Cute property with loads of charm in very central area. The staff is not onsite so codes are sent to guests. Was not able to reach staff with some questions but it was fine as it wasnt a drama. Just make sure all your questions are answered before you check in as its a self-serve property.

The ambiance of an older building but with modern amenities makes it special. However, as can be expected sound travels between rooms which can be a little disconcerting. Wifi strentgh was weak.

Love to return to stay longer.
I travel a lot. This accommodation stands out from the crowd. One word is quality and comfort. See website photos. An old building tastefully restored. May not have good sound proofing (room to room) if all rooms are full or have noisy guests. Very good value for money.

Very pleasant. Wasn’t sure of time of arrival so had a call from owners to advise how to access in event they were not in. They were and were very pleasant in welcoming us and recommending were to dine. All very relaxed and very pleasant stay. Lovely room. You could tell the owners had a real passion and sense of pride

An elegant retreat at a reasonable price.
We were made to feel really welcome. This is a beautiful house, spacious, high ceilings and restored to its original glory. Wish we had planned a little longer here, but hopefully someday in the future.
