Facilities & Amenities
The unique aura of Raven’s BnB comes from the combination of old elements and the guest house’s current design. About a century ago, the place was originally built to serve as a traditional cowhouse. In 2013, the current owners purchased the property and transformed it into a guest house that became Raven’s BnB.
The owners decided to retain key elements from the old cowhouse, like wooden beams and artifacts scattered around the guest house. There are a total of seven bedrooms that can fit two to four people, depending on the rooms’ sizes. There’s also a conservatory and a laundry room for cleaning your clothes.
On the second floor, where two of the bedrooms are, is a wooden bridge overlooking the dining area and open communal kitchen. All the bedrooms come with black-out blinds and down comforters. You can also access shared bathrooms, kitchen/dining area, outdoor hot tub, and garden.
