    Our private bathroom was across the hall - but that's old buildings for you! A small inconvenience for a great spot.

    Lukas was incredibly communicative and friendly during our stay! Excellent location. We were in the front room ground floor and it was surprisingly quiet for a city.

    The only "issue" is that our bathroom was outside the room, even though it was only ours it was not inside the bedroom.

    The room was so big and was nicely decorated. It looked as it was recently painted and the bathroom was new as well. The house also had a living room that we could use with sofas, books and magazines, etc.

    It was the first place I stayed that didn't offer shortbread cookies with tea/coffee tray.( Obviously trivial!)

    The room is beautiful, large, clean and comfortable! I would definitely stay again. Lovely sitting room to spend time in.

    Everything went well! We enjoyed the splendid decor, so tasteful. The high ceilings added to the spaciousness of the elegant accommodation. Lukas is the perfect host. He goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that his guests are comfortable and well-informed. The large and stately lounge made available to guests was an unexpected and delightful surprise. We were sorry our stay was too short.

    Nothing. It was a lovely place with a great host. Had a problem getting hot water in the shower but there was a shower head over the bath which had hot water so not a major issue x

    Lukas the manager was lovely and friendly. The room was clean and nicely decorated with lovely comfortable beds. Great location too!

    Nothing, not even our host could stop the rain! But even then we had a great time at the Zoo.

    We enjoyed everything, the location was ideal, room was a good size, nice deep bath and separate shower are a great option. Our host advised us where to eat locally, so we went and wasn't disappointed, thank you for making our stay a good one. Just if we had met her Viszla dog, we have one aswell.

    M daughter struggled to get hot water in the shower. However I then had a bath and the hot water was fine from the shower attachment in the bath.

    The building was beautiful. Lukas was very helpful and provided us with maps and local information. It was great to be able to leave our luggage and retune later for them

    I hadn't appreciated that I had booked a room without an en suite bathroom. I did have access to a private bathroom but it was a bit of a walk through a public area, and even though a dressing gown was supplied, this wasn't the best experience

    Location V peaceful V helpful advice on where to get breakfast - the Painted Rooster. Best breakfast I have eaten in years

    The bathroom was not an ensuite, but off the main corridor. HOWEVER WE DID KNOW BEFORE WE BOOKED SO IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE. It was so quiet it really did not matter, but other guests, I guess, may be more bothered!

    Lucasz was very helpful and a good source of information. Place was spotless, quiet and comfortable.
