I was jaw dropped when I entered the room - where's the bathroom!! It's my mistake, I didn't read carefully when I booked. It's a nice and well reserved house, well maintained and managed. My feeling was I booked a hostel instead. Since I'm not young and although the shared bathroom was clean and not busy, I still need a private one. If you are someone like me, don't book this one.

This was a clean Hotel and comfortable. check in was very easy as there was no staff to interact with. I just checked my email for instructions which told me my room number and key location. the shared bathrooms/showers was interesting but doable and there was adequate number of house slippers to get to our room.

Wonderful old building that has had many previous uses, and now rents out guest rooms at a very affordable rate. Well maintained, and the owner lives on-site and is extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend as a great alternative to more expensive chain hotel or resort rooms.

Stephen, Annandale

Disliked: Amenities
If you want a reasonable room in a nice very old house, with zero service and nothing within walking distance, this is your place! Long after I had booked, the hotel informed me that I would receive a message from them at noon on the day of arrival, giving me my room number, as there were NO reception staff. When I got there at 4 pm, no message! Luckily, another guest had gone through this rigamarole and had finally unearthed a telephone to call. I rang the number and, with many apologies, I was given my room number! After I took my shoes off - not allowed inside - I got into the room. No dining facilities nor breakfast. But a common area for cooking, which I did not need. Too far out of time to walk to anywhere to eat. But the room is OK, clean and with all conveniences.

Clean room, easy check in. Basic room but access to fully equipped kitchen. More suitable for younger people doing sporting activities than a senior couple touring. Quirky. No issues at all.
