James’ Place in the Rafters is as cosy and spacious in person as in the photos. The decorative touches and comfortable furnishings, bed included, make this studio a very unique and pleasant place to stay. As stated in the listing- a car is a must and the room is not accessible for anyone with mobility issues (steep narrow stairs).

Beautiful Room with a Brilliant View

The room was absolutely beautiful and was very impressive coming into the building. The views were great and the bed was extremely comfortable. There was a ladybird infestation which was a bit concerning but nonetheless, the room was brilliant and well worth the money.

Beautiful house, I wish I could have stayed longer. Bed was very comfortable and the Mountain View was a great touch. Lives all of the cute decor. Will definitely be back. The Welsh cakes were tasty too.

Fantastic property and excellent communication with the owners. Stayed in the studio and the fact you have the whole of the 2nd floor to ourselves we didn’t mind so much that the kitchen and bathroom where a few steps across the hall. Left us a little gift of Welsh cakes which was a lovely touch. Had emails with recommendations on places to go, drink and eat which I think was a great touch. Would stay at this property again and would also look in to the other properties they have.
