    It's near St. Clair Beach where you get to have a lot of choices as to where to dine from. I like the vibe as well of the room, as it has a vintage vibe. 🫶 Of course, me and my partner love the hosts, Andrea and Graham and the 2 cute cats, Huey...

Lucky you - stepping into the best bedroom within our warm and very welcoming 1920's home in the heart of St Clair. You will marvel at the original high ornate ceiling, quality soft furnishings and decorative fireplace feature. While you battle with stopping at just one of the delicious freshly homemade cookies in your jar, enjoy the Work/Study Nook which we have stylishly sectioned off from your bed with a room divider. There's even a Monitor and HDMI cord provided for your use. Perfect! CAT LOVERS rejoice - we have overly friendly Crumpet (a Burmese), and his little brother Huey (British Shorthair). They have free roam of the house and limited concept of your personal space however are contained in their own quarters at night. If Cats are not your thing or you are allergic, please use your discretion when booking. Location location location... we are mere minutes' walk on the flat from St Clair Beach and its range of fantastic Eateries and boutique shops.
Thank you for considering us for your stay. There are just the two of us here, my partner Graham who is a professional Photographer/Videographer/ Drone operator and hails from Essex UK. I am a later in life Student, chartering my course towards becoming a Midwife following a hasty escape from the corporate world. We're very friendly and easy going and would warmly welcome similar guests. Our evenings are usually spent avoiding the computer.
