    fantastic restaurant
    helpful staff

    This place suits me perfectly, providing wi-fi, free parking, and a fantastic restaurant. I remember the staff helping me with bug spray during my first stay. Highly recommended for a great experience! I'm coming back for a city break.

    Spacious rooms with well-placed skylights allow for a cozy atmosphere without the distraction of external views. The breakfast setup next to the bar offers freshly cooked full English options, with quick service that doesn’t leave you waiting too long.

    Navigating to the rooms requires climbing a fair number of stairs, which could be a hassle for anyone with mobility issues. An absence of basic amenities like a shelf in the bathroom can make it inconvenient to store toiletries. The internet connection had some initial hiccups but improved after a quick reboot.

    cozy room
    spotless bathroom
    friendly service

    Strongly recommend for a weekend escape

    Cozy room, spotless bathroom, with a lovely shower and plenty of coffee and tea facilities provided, making it a perfect spot for a short stay with free parking on-site.

    For us it was ideal.

    clean atmosphere
    decent location
    parking inconvenience

    Decent location with quick access to nearby attractions. The room's furnishings were in good shape, offering a clean and tidy atmosphere that made unwinding easier after a long day.

    The parking setup is a bit tricky. the outer gate locks after 18:00, requiring a hike back to your car if you arrive late. Rooms have unique skylights but lack window blinds, letting bright light pour in early, which might not suit everyone’s sleep habits. Pillows provided weren’t comfortable for my taste, one too soft and the other too hard, showcasing that personal preference plays a big role here. Room amenities could be more extensive, lacking essential conveniences like a proper shower curtain.

    comfy bedding
    freshly cooked breakfast

    Couple looking for value

    The room I had was massive and clean, I mean really spacious with comfy bedding and tea and coffee making stuff. The breakfast was freshly cooked, and the waitress was friendly, got us tea and coffee right away, it felt good to eat and plan the day ahead.

    The cost wasn’t exactly low, but it was still worth it.

    efficient reception
    comfortable bed
    limited breakfast options
    crowded navigation
    noisy breakfast preparation

    The efficient reception made the arrival smooth, and having a designated parking space was incredibly convenient. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, complemented by a comfortable bed and a well-maintained shower. Breakfast exceeded expectations with freshly prepared options, especially the cooked selection. the continental option was unavailable, which limited choices slightly. The location provided easy access to the city center, but it was challenging to navigate through crowds at peak times.

    clean room
    convenient location
    road noise
    lack of vibrancy
    limited dining options

    A large, clean room provided a comfortable stay, complemented by generous storage space and a nice shower. The location is convenient, with easy access to the city center. noise from the road was noticeable, especially during the night, and the on-site pub lacked vibrancy. Breakfast was enjoyable, with good old-fashioned options but the overall dining experience could be improved if the restaurant had more variety.
