The Loft is a spacious, comfortable studio. In a quiet location. There is an external staircase to the front door. The internal staircase is steep. I liked it because it is private and nicely furnished. Helen welcomed me. Giving information and guidance when I needed it.

Great stay, the access as described is a narrow staircase which didn’t bother me, but less abled people should be aware. Lovely quiet location.
