A sanctuary in the city

free parking secure storage warm guest house good furnishings
The room included free parking. A detail I greatly appreciated, it simplified our travel arrangements. We found secure cycle storage was available in the back garden. A thoughtful addition for cyclists. The guest house felt so very warm, and it was quite inviting. Our room, a lovely space, featured good furnishings.
The bathroom size felt slightly compact. THIS was the only minor inconvenience.

Fantastic Stay!

spacious room accommodating host convenient location delicious breakfast
The room size was spacious. The host was accommodating, which helped a lot! I found the location great. I appreciated the early check-in option. It was very convenient. Breakfast was delicious, with a full English fry-up included! Supermarkets and takeaways are conveniently nearby.
The room window was held open with a piece of timber, and it took effort to close the heavy sash.
