Studio very cosy has everything you need with a lovely Bee theme throughout plus small courtyard with a lockable gate this made it very private and it was very quiet never heard any traffic. The starter pack was well appreciated plus the advice from the owner where to eat and visit locally. We look forward to visiting again in the future

The owner has made a small space into welcoming haven in the centre of a busy town. The attention to detail with the bee theme. It so well equipped and the thoughtful treats are a nice touch. The parking permit is a great bonus and we had no trouble finding a space directly opposite. We will definitely return.
