Incredible guest house with several rooms, many common spaces including a common room with a record player and an amazing selection of vinyl records. Rooms seem recenrly remodeled, very functional, nice bed (soft). There was a community fridge with ice available, and ice pops, as well as nespresso coffee and milks for the morning. Plus, they serve the a full continental breakfast (homemade granola, yogurt, fixings, hardboiled eggs, salami, procuito, cheese, toast, etc, juice coffee) in this large hall. The grounds have lots of places ro sit and a gas fire ring. A great place to stay!

Very clean, modern and charming. I appreciated the small touches, including the Nespresso and the white noise machine. (If all the doors could be oiled it would make it even better as the quarters are pretty tightly packed so you hear everything)

I highly recommend the August house. Each room is unique, but they're all attractively and interestingly decorated. We stayed in room 3, which has a king size bed and a huge bathroom. I particularly liked that there are several quiet lounge areas where you can get coffee or tea and any additional cups or glasses you might need. The complimentary breakfast was fresh and wholesome. There's parking right out front and best of all, the staff is really dedicated to the comfort of the guests.

I would recommend this hotel

The room was clean and pretty. The breakfast was also amazing with some food choice. My only regret is that I had no time using sauna.
