John was great to deal with from the time of booking through ‘til check out. He is a clear, responsive and thoughtful communicator who supplied genuine care and good conversation during my stay. His room is comfortable, clean and cosy, as advertised, with enough space from the central living spaces to have one’s privacy when desired. As a woman travelling on her own, this was a respectful, safe and warm base camp, within close walking distance to all my favourite pubs, as well as central to the art community. Book shelves and wall montages lusciously curated were added pleasures. It was everything I needed. Great value!
