"A delightful little hideaway in trendy Clerkenwell. It’s as charming as can be."
Michelin Guide
"A row of charmingly restored 18C houses. Wood panelling, stone-flagged flooring, open fires and antique furniture."
Concierge
"Don't expect bellhops or a concierge—come here for the excellent location in one of the most evocative, Dickensian parts of London."
