We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the professionalism and warm hospitality shown by all your staff during our stay.
In particular, Jenna’s kind assistance truly stood out. Her helpful recommendations on tourist attractions made our visit even more enjoyable and memorable. We greatly appreciate the time she took to guide us and share her local knowledge—it made exploring the area much easier, more rewarding, and fun.
Thank you once again for such excellent service.

Central location - just be mindful of rooms at front with noise
Pros:

Fast easy check in
Comfortable bed
Nice breakfast in informal surroundings

Cons:

Having to pay £3 to park - we stayed here in December and didnt pay this and when I mentioned it at reception the receptionist didnt give me a reply
Room noise - unfortunately we were at the front on the corner and there was a boy racer going up and down with a very noisy car for hours and then the clock outside chimed every 15 mins
Room cold on arrival
No biscuits on tea tray
