To walk in to a stylish, clean space with obvious owner attention to detail, what more could you ask for. The extra touches of some light refreshments in the kitchen and pillow chocolates was a pleasant surprise. We loved the continuity of the theme and felt it was not overdone. The place felt comfortable, friendly and easy to live. We enjoyed the outside area for our wee friend "Lucie Bell the dog", and inside an luxury crate for sleeping. Overall, a triumphant experience for us all and we would not hesitate to recommend or stay again. Best regards Brendon, Claire & Lucie bell ##### Brendon H.
