Very interesting and authentic. Something we won’t forget. Great to explore the whole place - we were the only guests and there were no staff on site either so a bit eerie!!

“Cheap, convenient and cost.”

What an amazing experience this was, to sleep in a prison cell, and be able to roam around taking in the history of an old Goal. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. Their knowledge and passion for what they have was fabulous. For a truly unique experience, I highly recommend this place.
