Stockbridge Stay

comfortable bedclean roomspacious roomwinding stairs

My Double Room provided a comfortable bed. The room was very clean and spacious, a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the dining room a lot on the ground floor.

I found the stairs difficult. Carrying luggage up the winding stairs was not easy.

Location

9/10

The guest house enjoys proximity to various shops, pubs, and restaurants. The nearby Stockbridge Market occurs every Sunday, providing local produce and crafts, and buses to the city center are frequent and convenient.

Facilities

The hotel has a communal lounge with colorful decor and a library . A gorgeous garden sits just outside some of the windows. This creates a quiet atmosphere with views of the trees.
