La Maison Rousseau

Well this is a tricky review, Location - Not ideal, access off a busy road down the side of a Dominoes pizza - never felt unsafe but I feel it had the potential. Room - Rooms were comfortable & clean also very nice ho have a bath rather than shower. the décor was a bit of an assault on the senses from the stuffed parrot in the WC to the vintage oil paintings & up-cycled furniture but it works , if you've ever been to a emaus then it's like sleeping in one - wonderfully eccentric & french Host - Matt was a very welcoming host & very much the reason that I'm reluctant to criticize. He recommend restaurant always greeted you with a big smile. He alone should be the reason you stay. Breakfast - WOW how he makes any profit with the spread he provides, it's by far the best breakfast we've had anywhere. Check in - now this is where things get tricky, you're given the check in times at booking however there isn't a reception , the door is locked & it's a buzzer system - fine, if you get an answer, that doesn't always happen so can be a bit of a nerve wracking wait outside. Overall I'd recommend but the check in isn't the usual & if youve had a long day then perhaps not what you need
