Excellent accommodation, I would go there again. — Spacious and comfortable with everything you need, the bed and sheets were excellent. Couch and chairs were welcome, and there was plenty of space for luggage. The shower was great. There were a choice of art books of current Victorian artists which was a nice touch.

There was a follow up email to check that all was well.
