Really good Hospitality and Comfort

refreshing teahomemade cakeexcellent breakfastwarm host

I was welcomed with a refreshing tea tray including a delicious homemade cake. Breakfast each morning was an excellent cooked meal with careful attention to detail. The coffee in my room was ground, not instant, made a huge difference to my mornings (I am picky about my coffee). The host was warm and cute, and I immediately felt at home.

The street parking situation was a bit challenging upon arrival. It required circling the area a few times before I found an available space.

Rooms

The house is stylish and beautifully furnished. It felt tucked away, despite its proximity to local shops and bus routes into the city. I was visiting family nearby, so the location was perfect.

Really good Stay

amazing hostessbeautiful decorhigh quality towelsspecial dessert

Chrissie is an amazing hostess. She. My room reminded me of home. It featured beautiful decor, treats, and tea and coffee facilities. I enjoyed a cup of tea when I arrived. The bed offered comfort with luxury bedding plus fresh, high quality towels were available. The experience was peaceful plus quiet. Breakfast included a special desert course.

I encountered no parking available. The hotel confirmed parking existed "off street". I drove around busy streets. This lasted about 40 minutes, before phoning the hotel and explaining.

I was a bit disappointed by a couple of things . the limited parking was a real hassle. I had trouble finding a spot nearby. also, the breakfast felt a bit inflexible. I wished there were more options available without feeling like i was causing an inconvenience.

The wifi connection was stable, a definite plus. the shower had good water pressure. i also liked having ground coffee available in the room. It was quite convenient. the room itself felt spacious.

First impressions were not favorable. the entrance looked quite untidy. I noticed weeds near the door. i also felt that breakfast choice was limited. I was told what i would have. it was mostly potato and chive cakes, along with some fruit.
