Very comfortable two night stay. We've just read the other reviews and are quite surprised, several don't match our experience at all. We stayed in the King Room, which was beautifully decorated and very clean. Outstanding views and lots of stars...

Definitely the view was special and the bathroom was new. It was also very quiet. It is a shared house and it does feel like being in a home which is nice.
