    I love the decor, the comfy bed I stayed in the library and loved having my own fridge. The teabags are what I usually purchase and the coffee was delicious. I am a coffee snob so it was really nice to make myself a plunger coffee in the morning...

    Just lovely, bed is so comfy and I really appreciated the little touches like real coffee etc. Everything was thought about, spotlessly clean etc. A place where guests can feel cared about.
