“This is a fantastic little find, especially considering it's above a pub - remarkably quiet, even on a Friday night. The well-sized rooms feel more generous than expected, and the heated garden sounds like a genuine retreat. Family-owned, with a traditional feel and close to green spaces, it strikes me as a refreshingly personal alternative to the city's more generic stays.”
