Ein altes Gebäude, das schön hergerichtet ist. Ein sehr.interessanter gestalteter Hinterhof mit Secret Garden. Man ist gleich in der Innenstadt. Kostenlose Parkplätze in der Nähe. Ein netter Vermieter, der uns persönlich empfangen hat.

10.0

A stunning, quirky property, easy walking distance to Newark. The most spectacular hidden garden and an historical gem. Would most highly recommend.

− Parking is an issue as no parking at property.

It was fun!

10.0

Surprises and smiles galore! Historical traces, character and quirks everywhere, with an amazing fairytale garden - such a contrast to the modern hotel room. So many places to sit and enjoy! Fully equipped kitchen and very comfortable lounge and bedrooms.

Terrible- had to leave!

1.0

N/A

− Terrible, right opposite a pub that has a music licence till 2am - single glazed bedrooms at the front of the property. Ended up leaving at 10:30pm and driving back to Kent. Owner was weird and wanted extra cash on arrival as we had 3 guests instead of 2 - has refused a refund and suggested that he will return the extra £35 paid if we don’t leave an honest (bad) review, awful! I’d rather others knew what they’re booking instead of a refund.
