Angenehm aber leider sehr eng - vor allem wenn man nicht als Paar, sondern mit Freunden unterweg ist
Pros:

Sauberkeit und eine kleine Frühstücksbeutel für unterwegs als Überraschung

Cons:

Die Zimmer und dadurch die Betten waren viel zu klein und eng. Vor allem zu diesem Preis

Great wee escape reality overnight
Pros:

Staff were friendly, bar had a great vibe. Pizza’s looked amazing.

The room, although on the small side was spotlessly clean.

The complementary breakfast was a lovely touch.

Cons:

That there was no kitchen for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Although the pizza did look delicious.

The staff were pleasant and offered us a goody bag upon arrival. Check in was easy and seamless.
Pros:

The property was clean and easily accessible. There is a pub attached which was/is convenient for meals and drinks.

Cons:

The room was quite small. We did book a double bed which is fine but the room itself was small. The double bed is probably not big enough for two people to sleep comfortably.
