We enjoyed a two night stay for a local wedding. The flat was a good size for two couples, great to have two bathrooms. It was nicely decorated and very comfortable. Sophie was a friendly host and responded promptly. Good location just outside the main city centre, but it was still very quiet. Plenty of parking.

Sophie was a lovely host. Was very caring and super helpful. The flat was lovely with two large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Sophie also left lots of useful little bits which made the stay even more homely, Jams, butter, milk, shower gels etc. saved us packing extra bits before our stay. I would definitely stay again and would recommend anyone to stay with sophie. The parking is an added bonus! Thanks Sophie! 😊
