Clean bedroom/shower/toilet and clean communal areas of the hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Quiet corridors at night-time, to help the guests to sleep.
Lovely place to stay away from home. Friendly hosts, excellent management and warm beds. Everything exceeded my expectations. I wished I could stay longer.
Superb conversion from court/jail to quirky accommodation. Very clean place with great rooms and fantastic, helpful staff. Sara the walking tour guide was really great as were all staff front of house. I'll be back for sure.
