We liked the atmosphere and the quirky decor. Maggie is a great host and made us feel at home throughout our stay. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was outstanding. A great place to stay!

Maggie and Badger were very welcoming on my arrival. Despite my leaving at 6am in the morning, breakfast provisions were laid out and ready for me to help myself as promised. The home made poached fruits were delicious and such an appreciated personal touch. My room had everything I needed and I felt extremely comfortable and secure. The balcony is a lovely spot to sit and the hotel itself is a truly unique and lovely boutique experience. Highly recommended!

Beautiful artwork and objects throughout. If you’re after clean and modern, then this is not the place for you, but if you appreciate the quirky and beautiful then you won’t be disappointed.
