Rob is a very thoughtful host. He provided a really nice breakfast for us and allowed us use of the whole house as there was nobody staying in the main part. If you can afford the extra, I recommend booking the main house as it’s beautiful. The space we’d booked a is a separate space adjacent to the main house and, while lovely - the bathroom is amazing - is more suitable for a short stay, say 1-2 nights, as the living area is small. The location is very handy for Merivale, being a 10 minute walk. There are some nice shops, restaurants and cafes there. The neighbourhood is quiet and feels safe. There is parking on site and on the road outside.
