Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Conveniently located. Room basic but comfy. Main criticism is that the bathroom was much too hot. I nearly burnt my hand when I accidentally touched the heated towel rail while reaching for the toilet paper. I would have preferred not to have had to climb three flights of stairs to the room. Especially as there is no handrail on upper level.
The staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was modern, impeccably maintained, and spotlessly clean, which exceeded my expectations. A delightful surprise was the espresso machine in the room—such a thoughtful touch! I enjoyed my short stay and would happily return in the future.
Confused regarding parking and the toilet area was 8/10 for cleanliness overall a great place to stay, room was noisy in the morning.

Extremely clean , my single room had everything in for my one night stay , great shower , comfortable bed .Very good value for money very good location
Perfectly adequate for a one night stay.
But, unless one knows the area, getting to it via Sat Nav is challenging, and the local parking is a nightmare!:.
One night stop for work near by. Car park was a disappointment as couldn't park the Van due to height restriction. quite noisy as windows are old, but the food and the pub are good, beds comfy and a reasonable price
Very nice clean room, mine was a single and perfectly enough room for me. The pub and food were good, 10 min walk into the City is great. Would have been nice if the coffee/milk had been serviced for the 2nd night. Would I stay there again? …. definitely yes, if the price is right.
