small roomstreet noise

i found the room rather small. storage space was minimal there was no wardrobe only a few hooks on the wall. the noise from the street was significant especially early in the morning the window did little to block it. this made it difficult to sleep past 6 am.

April and Callum gave me SUCH a warm welcome!!! They ensured all my needs were catered for. I enjoyed a well-designed bedroom with a VERY comfortable bed. Breakfast was great, the icing on the cake.
