For being so little and cute it never felt cramped, it was cozy. The terraced garden in the back with two sitting areas was lovely. Yes the bedroom floors were uneven and the door funky but that just added to the charm. Thank you for the teas, milk and cookies waiting for us! The booking process, check in and contacts with Sykes were smooth.
