Loved the showers. No free parking close by however, so budget in some parking money. Also, 1st floor larger bed frame was wobbly, so favour the upstairs bedroom. Beautiful decor. Had everything we needed for a short stay. ##### A W. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elaine H. 14 Jan 2025 ##### Elaine H.
