Four rooms behind the tall front windows, each with its own fireplace.

Rue Haute is a narrow street, but it is not a loud one. Cars are rare after nine and the loudest thing at night is usually somebody walking home from the harbour. The windows are double-glazed on the inside pane, which keeps the old glass on the street side and the cold out.

Morning sun comes straight in. Close the shutters if you like a dark room until late; they are the original oak ones and they close with a bar, the way they did in 1893.

Bathrooms

Each Street Room has a full bathroom with a bath and a separate shower, in what was once a dressing room. Towels are changed daily unless you leave them on the rail.

In every Street Room

Two flights of the main stair lead up from the hall. The steps are wide and shallow, and there is a rail on both sides.

Play happens in a single room of this house, the loft over the old shop, and in no other place. The Printed Room takes no bets online, opens no player accounts and handles no payments through this website.
