Heather

United States

“Staff was wonderfully friendly and kind. Room was adorable, but stairs are tough, so be warned. Best times downstairs every night. Loved absolutely everything about staying here. Made our Mother/daughter trip perfect”

“Lovely place on top of one of the best bars in the city. My room was properly sound insulated, so if I closed the windows, etc, I couldn't hear anything, but e.g. if I wanted to hear the live music they were playing on Sunday, I could just open...”
