No Two Rooms Are Exactly Alike — And That’s a Good Thing
Sojourn Riddiford was thoughtfully converted from an existing building.
That means each apartment has its own unique layout and personality — just like our guests.
While we offer six simple room types to make booking easy, the real difference is in the thoughtful design and attention to detail that goes into every room.
Prefer more natural light? Need a work nook? Travelling with someone who needs accessibility?
Let us know — we’re happy to help find the right space for your stay.
