generous roomeasy accesshigh mirrorornate mirror
The room was generous in size and very warm, a lovely embrace after a day of wandering. ease of access to the hotel was a blessing. I appreciated not fumbling with keys or complicated entry systems.
The bathroom mirror seemed positioned for someone much taller, a challenge for me at 5'2". i also found the ornate mirror above the bed a bit unsettling. I worried about it falling.

Cozy and Clean Stay

quiet locationcosy roomcomfortable bed
I felt very much at home . The location is quiet and finding the place was simple. Solomon's Temple and the town centre are close. My room felt very cosy. The bed was comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. I found the experience to be excellent value.
Dining
9/10
The hotel includes a kitchen for guest use so preparing food is convenient. The town offers many restaurants, pubs, and shops within a short walk, offering diverse dining options, catering to different tastes. this makes it easy to enjoy local cuisine.
Rooms

My room in this victorian house had what I needed. Free tea and coffee were provided, and wi-fi access was available. The room was warm because radiators were on. A blind on the bathroom door window would add more privacy.
Location
8/10
The location provided convenient access to shops and attractions. It also maintained a quiet atmosphere. On-street parking was available, though one must dodge potholes. The hotel is also convenient for driving to nearby villages.
Facilities

The accommodation was clean and well maintained, offering a basic but sufficient stay. A cleaner was available and seemed to be the only member of staff present, but was excellent. There is a kitchen area available for guest use.

great valueself check-in
The location was excellent. The town and opera house were within walking distance. Self check-in worked just FINE, a real time saver. No staff were on site, and breakfast was not available. it was still great value for the quality of the room.
The mirror in the bathroom was TOO high.
