Please note that due to our unique location beneath the rail bridge, there may be some noise from passing trains. While this adds to the charm of our historic setting, we want to ensure you’re aware of it during your stay. We recommend bringing earplugs if you’re sensitive to sound, but many guests find the train activity adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the area. Thank you for your understanding!
