Home truths
Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you during your stay, but the host kindly asks that they’re kept off the beds and furniture.
There is only one shower shared between all guests, so this setup may require a bit of coordination and may not suit every group.
All bedrooms are upstairs, accessed by stairs, which may not suit guests with reduced mobility.
There is unrestricted on-street parking here, as well as a free public car park nearby.
One of the twin bedrooms also has its own sink, which makes mornings a little easier.
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area for an additional fee.
