“Matchbox strikes me as a thoroughly considered renovation, where the comfort of the beds and the modernity of the bathrooms are truly appreciated after a day exploring the characterful town and its surroundings. The well-equipped kitchen invites home cooking, a lovely contrast to the lively high street just outside. It feels like a home that's been curated with real care, ready for guests to settle in.”
