Simply Charming
Walking into the foyer is like stepping back into the Victorian era…luxurious and beautifully restored and decorated. Lots of amenities, our room and bed were extremely comfortable, and we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. The Strand has lots of shops and restaurants and the homes are showing the resurgence of a bygone era. Highly recommend for a romantic couples getaway.

Definitely recommend
Excellent place to stay. I was solo but it would be especially awesome for groups traveling together to all have their own space plus group space. My room was close to the kitchen so there was potential for it being too noisy for me, but I was lucky and it was fine.
