My stay was excellent and I hope to return. Claire and Rob are friendly and welcoming; they don't hover, but let you get on with your business. The guest house was scrupulously clean and neat. I appreciated little touches like a hot-water bottle (though it was not the weather to use one). Every comfort was anticipated; nothing was fussy. The breakfast was generous and tasty. It's an easy walk to the theaters and town center.

I would stay again in a heartbeat. The hosts were great. I enjoyed talking to them and could tell they cared greatly about the service they were providing. The rooms were great! Very spacious and with a big, comfortable bed and a nice private bathroom. Small touches made it even more special, such as a diffuser in the bathroom, a cute little biscuit jar, and more. One thing I really appreciated was the online registration before--they wanted to make sure they knew who was staying before they came, which made me feel safe in the house. It was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast consists of a hot meal with yogurt, fruit, cereal, and more continental food on the side. It is close to the city, and Rob provided great advice for easier transportation. There is also a community bookshelf and a helpful notebook filled with local restaurant menus. I genuinely don't have anything bad to say. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd stay again, and I'd recommend it highly to anyone else. Thank you to Rob and Claire for your service.
