10/10 Excellent
"Our stay in the self contained Studio was perfect. It was conveniently located and very nicely decorated in sage green and cream. We found the bed very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for coffee and snacks. The laundry facilities were easy to use and we had our own patio with a washing line and pegs. It was cosy and warm in the room on the winter evenings. Parking was convenient just outside the studio. It was an easy walk to the centre of town and the Nut."
