Dave was an exceptional host and didn't mind the (very) late check-in at all. He even let us change rooms free of charge after we accidentally booked a single room instead of a double.The breakfast was amazing and we loved his chef outfit so much. Everything was literally a 10/10.

Totally delightful! Lovely staff, great breakfast, modern amenities in an eclectic 117 year old house. Fascinating decor of antique and funk. You'll talk about it for days after. Good value

The property is unique. Classic villa with plenty of fascinating objects to admire. We loved our room with its quality carpet, beautiful lamps and most importantly a comfortable bed. Most importantly the warm welcome by the owner plus the timely offer of ' a cuppa' on arrival.

loved this beautiful old home
Such a cool place to stay, lovely people, old worldly charm, log fire, comfy bed and good breakfast. Just one small thing- pillows need replacing they have seen better days and weren’t very comfortable. Yes I would definitely stay again. Thanks
