Pleasant stay, I would gladly return to this hotel
Pros:

The typical English breakfast was satisfactory overall. The hotel is located in a very quiet and peaceful area, close to the city center and the train station. There are various shops, markets, and restaurants in the area.

Cons:

Like many other accommodations in England, the lack of blackout curtains might bother someone who has trouble sleeping with too much light from outside in the morning.

Exceptional value for money.
Pros:

Lovely hosts, Perfect location, Great Breakfast, very clean room, Very clean breakfast kitchen area. Some rooms have been modernised but I had one that wasn’t. Still nice had everything you need. All you need to remember is this is a guest house not a hotel chain so for the price paid exceptional value for money.

Cons:

Personal preference was no fridge in the room. Bathroom shelf was wonky couldn’t put much on.

Best breakfast ever in a B&B but room size leaves a lot to be desired
Pros:

Spotlessly clean room. Lovely welcome from owners and an absolutely superb breakfast.

Cons:

Room was very small and bathroom impractical. Couldn’t sit normally on toilet as no leg space between loo and wall. Shower is fixed at just about chest height so you have to crouch down if you want to shower fully. Old sofa dumped in front garden isn’t the best look .
