Georgian Charm and Friendly Service

spacious roomgood showerrestful sleepfriendly staff

I appreciated the spaciousness and cleanliness of the room. It featured a good-sized shower and provided both towels and toiletries. I was lodged in the Georgian building across the road, a former hotel undergoing refurbishment. It was very quiet and historically interesting. The bed offered really good comfort and provided a restful night's sleep. The staff was cute and accommodating.

The exterior of the building showed some signs of needed maintenance.
