comfy room

attention to detail

I stayed in the Basic Double Room for 2 nights, and it was super comfy! The room was clean and well-decorated. The beds were so nice to sleep on. Vivienne's attention to detail made everything feel special. The bathroom had high-quality toiletries, which was a great touch. Breakfast was amazing too—lots of delicious options to start the day right! Honestly, no complaints at all—can’t wait to go back!

Loved the comfy twin room and the delicious breakfast was just what we needed each morning! It was nice to unwind with a cozy common area and enjoy some peaceful garden space. The only small thing was that we could've used a bit more workspace for our beauty routine, but that’s just being picky! 😊
