I had the pleasure of staying at the Arden Street House for 3 nights in early January. All I can say is what a lovey place it is to stay. Joyce made me very welcome and I enjoyed joining the family and other guests for dinner each night.
Arden St House is truly a home away from home- from the spacious comfortable bedrooms to the shared lounge everything was very clean and extremely good value for money.
I would happily stay there again and can thoroughly reccomend it.
