charming gem with good touches
spacious roomcomfortable bedconsistently good shower
i stayed in a spacious double room. it featured a lovely view of the back garden. the bed proved very comfortable. plus, the room included great lighting and a consistently good shower.
The decor felt a bit too much, with mismatched and older furniture. I also noted the bathroom door didn't close very well.

My double room offered ample space and included practical amenities. i found that the lighting was thoughtfully designed, and the shower maintained consistent water pressure. Also the room included sufficient storage space.
