The double rooms available to rent are beautifully decorated and each room features free superfast WiFi, Smart TV, double pine bed, armchair, pine desk and chair, washbasin and shaver point, hot drink facilities and a fridge.

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
