Nice old (1887) guest house. Space was nice and breakfast was very good. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. My only concern would be if the temperature was hot, as there is no AC. It was fairly cool when we were there so we could open window.

Gorgeous old guesthouse, simple breakfast, but lots of cute touches such as port in the room, and the vast array of teas on offer….coffee was awful, but cafe lurlines around the corner is excellent if you need the good stuff….the floors are creaky but that’s part of the charm ….we loved our stay

Great little find in a convenient location for our overnight stay. Our only real issue was that we didn’t have a fridge in the room to keep drinks cool, but there was a fridge available downstairs in the communal area with milk for tea and coffee etc. Very cute library with hundreds of DVDs to watch in any downtime!
