The only down side to our stay (not the b&bs fault) we were on the ground floor next to the main front door so we was kept awake some of the night people going in and out at all hours and slamming the gate in the middle of the night. But overall a very clean and comfortable stay. ##### Lauren Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benedict May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Beautifully appointed and cared for BnB with self check in.

Highly recommended ##### Benedict Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jhenifer Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very good accommodation! I was a bit hesitant before booking because the bathroom is shared, but that wasn’t a problem at all during our stay — there are several bathrooms and they were always clean and available. The bed is amaaaazing, super comfortable, and the breakfast is great — definitely worth the investment. Check-in and check-out were very convenient thanks to the smart lock technology. I highly recommend this accommodation, I have no complaints, only praise. I liked everything! ##### Jhenifer Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome weekend! it was located in an ideal location, beautiful room and house in general ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca Nov 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice rooms and easy to find from the train station.
